In French, nouns (substantives m.) are either masculine (m.) or feminine (f.). Each gender has its own article.

法语中的名词分为阴性和阳性。

阳性名词前用冠词le

阴性名词前用la

复数词不分阴阳性都用les

le jour m.the day 白天
la nuit  f.the night 夜晚

Les is the plural article for both masculine and feminine nouns.

les hommes m. pluralthe men 男人们
les femmes f. pluralthe women 女人们

如果名词以元音或者不发音h (哑阴h)开头用l'

When the noun begins with a vowel or a silent 'h', the le or la simply becomes l'.

l'ombre m.the shade 阴影
l'abeille f.the bee 蜜蜂
l'hôtel m.the hotel 酒店
