No One Says Petite Amie Anymore! Instead They Say…

I love watching French comedy! You can see how the language is really used in real life.

In this video, the comedian says:

J’ai une copine - I have a girlfriend

It’s fascinating how I learned petite amie in French class in the US, yet French people really don’t say that anymore!

So in modern French we say:

Copain / copine - boyfriend / girlfriend

Be sure to watch the rest of the video and leave a comment if you have any questions!
