Question #5559   Submitted by Answiki on 12/19/2021 at 05:06:45 PM UTC

In French, should we write « un envoi » or « un envoie »?

Answer   Submitted by Answiki on 12/19/2021 at 05:09:19 PM UTC

In French, the two spellings envoi and envoie are correct but do not have the same meaning:


  • envoi without the final 'e' is a name: Un envoi postal <=> A shipment
  • envoie is a conjugated verb (envoyer / to send ): Il envoie une lettre <=> He sends a letter.


Here are some example:


Il envoie un envoi. <=> He's sending a shipment.

Je t'envoie un courrier dès demain. <=> I'll send you a mail tomorrow.

Il envoie le boomerang trop loin. <=> He sends the boomerang too far.

Un envoi sera moins cher. <=> A shipment will be cheaper.
