How to Say ‘Yes, it is a French brand.’ in French

Oui, c'est une marque française.

wee s eh ewn MARK frahn-SEZ

[wee s eh ewn MARK frahn-SEZ]

💬 Usage Tip: Marque is a feminine word, so français gains an e to become française, and the final s is now pronounced. Nationality words go after the noun: une voiture allemande "a German car".

🇫🇷 In France: Many French shoppers care where things come from, and labels like fabriqué en France "made in France" are a real selling point. Asking whether a brand is French is a normal, even welcome, question in a shop.
