Random French Word Generator With le or la and the Meaning Covered

How this list was compiled: Everyday French words that are not verbs. Each word's spelling, part of speech and meaning come from its own entry on English Wiktionary (wikitext read through https://en.wiktionary.org/w/api.php on 2026-10-01, 40 titles to a request, text under CC BY-SA 4.0; the entry's address is in x.src), French section, and each noun's gender is the one in the entry's fr-noun template. Every noun's gender was then confirmed by script on the word's entry in the French-language Wiktionary (https://fr.wiktionary.org, wikitext through its API on 2026-10-01): the gender mark on the form line of its first noun section had to agree, and the two nouns on which the editions differ (professeur and automne, which the French edition gives as masculine or feminine) were left out. The English meanings were also compared with FreeDict's French-English dictionary (https://freedict.org, fra-eng 0.4.1, GNU GPL), used as a check and not as the source: it lists 393 of the 412 words and a word of our meaning stands among its translations for 369 of them; its gender marks were not used, because several are wrong (it gives cahier and matin as feminine). The article in front of a noun is set by script: l' before a vowel, le for a masculine and la for a feminine noun before a consonant; the list holds no noun that begins with h, so the question of the aspirated h does not arise. A noun that names a person of either sex (l'élève, l'enfant, le médecin, le photographe) is marked masculine or feminine, as its entry is. Adjectives are given in the masculine singular, the form dictionaries list. False friends are our own selection of words that look like an English word and mean something else; the English word each is not is printed after the meaning, and x.src leads to the entry that gives the French sense. The list is our own choice of everyday vocabulary and is copied from no exam body's or course's list. The English meanings are our own short wording; a script then checked that a word of each meaning stands in a definition line under the same part-of-speech heading of the entry, and words that failed were left out. Every English meaning was read for a general audience that includes children: no slang, insult, swear word, alcohol or adult term. After the file was written a script read it back and checked every row against the saved entry text again. Licence: own work
