Capitalizing letters
This question relates to:French lesson "Adjectives of nationalities vary depending on gender in French (French Adjectives)"
Asked 10 months ago
Bonjour Natalie,
In French, nationalities used as adjectives (as opposed to nouns) never start with a capital letter in French, unlike English:
Ma petite amie est canadienne. = My girlfriend is Canadian.
C'est un Canadien. = He is a Canadian.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
