French language Q&A Forum

If you are asking someone their nationality, it is obvious that you do not know the person. In which case, wouldn't the question be informal in any situation? 

is it [ju suisanglez] or [ju sui anglez]? why?

I find the questions which ask things like "If I say "Tu es français.", who am I speaking to: Lucie or Hugo?" quite frustrating, because the gendering of names isn't fixed.  According to https://madame.lefigaro.fr/prenoms/prenom/garcon/lucie, Lucie, whilst predominantely feminine, has been a mixed name for over a century. 

I selected nationality with Capital letter, but it says I selected lower case

How come there is elision for "Je suis australien" but no elision for "Je suis australienne"?

Hi,
how do we know when a nationality used in a sentence is an adjective or a noun?
thank you

If I fill up a form with my nationality –

Example one: nationalité: autricien

Example two: nationalité: autricienne

I am a male Austrian, but I fill up with the feminine word 'nationalité' that agrees with the feminine adjective 'autricienne' but I don't know which example is correct.

Please tell me which example is appropriate for a male Austrian nationality. Thank you. 

HI,

I was wondering I took the test and the question asked me if je suis professeur is Leon or Marie and I put Leon cause it's a masc ending but was marked wrong? Then the next question was  je suis acteur and select Michael or Catherine or both of them and when I chose both of them it was marked wrong and said I should have picked Michael! 

  So why is the word acteur marked for masculine but the professeur is not?

Thanks

Nicole
