Notes

GENERAL INFO

Fille means "girl" or "daughter." It is a feminine noun.

USAGE

It's commonly used to refer to a young female ("une jeune fille" - a young girl) or a female child in relation to her parents ("C'est ma fille" - She is my daughter).

TRAPS

Do not confuse it with "fils" (son, masculine).

While "fille" means girl, a "girlfriend" is "petite amie," not typically "ma fille" unless literally referring to your daughter.
