In French, the word ‘pantalon’ is masculine. This means that when you use articles or adjectives with it, they should also be in the masculine form. For example:
- Un pantalon (a pair of pants)
- Le pantalon (the pair of pants)
- Ce pantalon est beau (These pants are nice)
Even though ‘pantalon’ refers to an item of clothing that is often worn by both men and women, the grammatical gender in French is masculine. This is an important aspect of French grammar to remember when learning the language.
