Music in French 🇫🇷

Tips to remember the French word “musique”:
– It closely resembles the English word “music,” with the main difference being the addition of the letter “e” at the end. You can think of it as giving “music” a French twist or a little extra flair with the “e.”
– Associate the word with a French song or artist you enjoy, and every time you think of or listen to that song or artist, remind yourself of the French term “musique.”

Explanations:
– The word “musique” comes from the Latin “musica,” which in turn has its roots in the Greek word “mousike,” related to the arts of the Muses. In French, “musique” has the same general meaning as “music” in English: organized sound that is often harmonious and melodious, created for aesthetic and expressive purposes.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– Mélodie: A melody or tune.
– Harmonie: Harmony, reflecting the combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords.
– Son (musical): Sound, as it relates to music.

Alternate meanings like slang:
– In French slang, “musique” doesn’t really have an alternative meaning. However, it can be used metaphorically to refer to repetitive talk. For example, “C’est toujours la même musique,” which translates to “It’s always the same old tune,” meaning that the same thing is being repeated over and over again.
