Tips to remember the French word “jeune homme”:
– Break the phrase down: “jeune” means young and “homme” means man – similar to the English “hom” in “hominid”.
– Associate “jeune” with the English word “junior” to remember it signifies youth.
– To recall “homme,” think of the word “human,” which has the same root.

Explanations:
– “Jeune homme” directly translates to “young man” in English.
– The adjective “jeune” can be used with other nouns too, indicating youthfulness.
– “Homme” on its own means “man.”

Other words that mean the same thing:
– “Garçon” – Though it often means “boy,” it can also refer to a young man.
– “Adolescent” – Used for teenagers or young men of that age bracket.

Alternate meanings/slang:
– “Mec” is a common slang term for a man or guy, akin to “dude” in English.
– “Gars” is a more casual term for a boy or young man, much like “fella” or “lad.”
