The French word for ‘this’ is ‘ce’ when used before masculine singular nouns. Here are a few tips to remember it:

1. **Pronunciation**: ‘Ce’ is pronounced like the letter ‘C’ in English. Think of it as ‘seh’, with a soft ‘e’.

2. **Association**: You might remember ‘ce’ by thinking of ‘ce moment’ (this moment), which sounds like ‘see the moment’, linking the visual idea of ‘seeing’ to ‘this’.

Other words in French that mean the same thing:

– ‘Cet’: Used before masculine singular nouns that begin with a vowel or mute ‘h’ (e.g., ‘cet homme’ – this man).
– ‘Cette’: Used before feminine singular nouns (e.g., ‘cette femme’ – this woman).
– ‘Ces’: Used before all plural nouns, whether masculine or feminine (e.g., ‘ces hommes’ – these men, ‘ces femmes’ – these women).

Alternate meanings or slang use: ‘Ce’ does not have slang meanings. It’s primarily a demonstrative adjective.

Examples of sentences that use ‘ce’:

1. Ce livre est intéressant. (This book is interesting.)
2. Ce chien est très gentil. (This dog is very friendly.)
3. Regarde ce tableau! (Look at this painting!)
4. Ce garçon parle trois langues. (This boy speaks three languages.)

Remember that context is key, as the French words ‘ce, cet, cette, ces’ are used depending on the noun that follows them (masculine/feminine, singular/plural, and starting with a vowel or consonant).
