How to Say ‘Is vegetarian’ in French
Est végétarienne
ay vay-zhay-tah-ree-enn
[ay vay-zhay-tah-ree-enn]
💬 Usage Tip: With [être], French does not add a word for "a" before jobs, identities, or many descriptions: [est végétarienne], not "is a vegetarian" word-for-word. You get the same pattern in [il est médecin] and [elle est française].
