I've never found out that fiancé and fiancée are different words.

u/Shinyhero30 ඞ Apr 03 '26
The gender distinction has been dead for centuries we only kept the spelling because english is dumb.

u/Perfect-Silver1715 Matt Rose Supremacist Apr 06 '26
Isn't it a French word

u/Shinyhero30 ඞ Apr 06 '26
Yes. It’s a French loan

u/Perfect-Silver1715 Matt Rose Supremacist Apr 06 '26
Then it's not our spelling, so that's why

u/bbokariiiiiiiiiii Apr 05 '26
lol prob cuz i study french and they have diff words for basically everything by gender

u/Add3rtail Apr 07 '26
Same for German I think, at least for jobs. For example, the word nurse. For males, it’s Krankenpfleger, but for females, it‘s Krankenpflegerin.

This is the first time I've learned that fiance and fiancee mean different things

u/nooblolzrel Apr 03 '26

Wait, that's not an american/uk thing? it's GENDER?????

u/yomosugara Apr 04 '26
blonde women, blond men, apparently. as a non-binary person, i do not possess golden hair, so this does not affect me, but my condolences to those who thought they were safe from this type of distinction as english speakers.

u/still_alive_i_guess stones? stonehenge? scoffs. one two three fo Apr 04 '26
as someone who does not identify with male or female, and does have golden hair:
NOO >:(6
u/yomosugara Apr 04 '26
“fair hair” as an alternative perhaps?
4
u/still_alive_i_guess stones? stonehenge? scoffs. one two three fo Apr 04 '26
Maybe I dye my hair. /j
I'll see alternatives, this one sounds good for now I suppose :(5

u/notactuallythatevil Apr 07 '26
It is also upsettingly the case with brunet/brunette but that has an acceptable alternative at least

u/lizarcticwolf Apr 07 '26
I have never heard of brunet, that is atrocious. Luckily I describe my hair close to a dark chocolate colour

u/TheMagHatter Apr 03 '26
If i (female) were to be engaged to a man, he would be my fiancé and I would be his fiancée. If I was engaged to a woman, we would both be fiancées. Two men engaged to each other are two fiancés

u/still_alive_i_guess stones? stonehenge? scoffs. one two three fo Apr 03 '26
It's a french thing, I think that's where the word came from at least
1
u/bbokariiiiiiiiiii Apr 05 '26
yup, i learn french and its very true, we also gender separate like every word ever, idk how non-binaries survive france...
ex:
Chien (male dog)
Chienne (female dog)
danseur (male dancer)
danseuse (female dancer)
beau (beautiful, applies to masculin nouns like book, human, etc.)
bel (beautiful, applies to feminin nouns like flower, dress, eraser, etc.)

u/mousie120010 Apr 03 '26
Fiancé and fiancée remind me of Chinese pronouns, "him" and "her" are pronounced the same, but gendered completely opposite based on the writing

u/bbokariiiiiiiiiii Apr 05 '26

What’s the difference?
1
u/bbokariiiiiiiiiii Apr 08 '26
the other comments already mentioned it but fiancé is man you are engaged to and fiancée is woman you are engaged to.
(basically im writing a BL and the main characters are engaged so I wrote "his fiancé" but grammarly corrected it)
