French[edit]
Pronunciation[edit]
Proper noun[edit]
- Alternative spelling of États-Unis (“United States (a country in North America)”)
Usage notes[edit]
- In older French practice, capital letters did not take diacritics, so É becomes E. This was mostly done because of technical constraints. Formal orthotypography maintains the diacritics.
- Usually used with an article: les Etats-Unis.
