Fiancé vs Fiancée

Word origin : The origin of the word fiancé is mid 19th 

century, from French, past participle of fiancer 'betroth,' from 

Old French fiance 'a promise,' based on Latin fidere 'to trust.'

Fiancé -(fi -an- c (e)

Fi·an·cée -[fee-ahn-sey, fee-ahn-sey]

They are both French loanwords. The "e" has an acute

 accent on it in both. In French, adding an "e" changes the

gender of the word, but in this case does not affect the 

pronunciation.

Thus, both are pronounced same: 

Fiancé and Fiancée are often confused by many and there are some who use these words almost interchangeably. 

These are actually French nouns that refer to a person getting married. In French language, nouns are males and females, and thus fiancé and fiancée are male and female nouns used to refer to a person about to be married. There is quite a bit of difference between them as fiancé refers to a male who has been engaged and about to get married while fiancée refers to a woman engaged to a man waiting for her marriage.

LISTEN and TO HEAR

Do you know the difference between the verbs TO LISTEN and TO HEAR? TO LISTEN is active. TO HEAR is passive.

Sometimes you can LISTEN too hard. Sometimes you can TRY
too hard. Sometimes it is better only to HEAR. Let the
radio play. Let the cassette play. But DON'T listen.
Just HEAR. Your subconscious will listen for you. And
you will still learn. If you listen and try to
understand, you may block on one word and get
frustrated. Don't worry! Just HEAR! Believe me, you will
still be learning. The important thing is to let the
radio or cassette or television or record PLAY. Let it
play. And you - you do nothing. Your brain will HEAR,
your subconscious will LISTEN and you will LEARN!

Have a great time.
