How to Say ‘Garden.’ in French
Le jardin.
luh zhar-dan
[luh zhar-dan]
💬 Usage Tip: Le is the masculine singular word for “the.” Jardin means “garden,” and the final -in has a nasal French sound, a bit like saying “zhar-dan” without a strong final n.
🇫🇷 In France: In France, a jardin can be a private garden, a public park area, or even part of a château. French people also love talking about gardening, especially flowers, herbs, and potagers (vegetable gardens).
