Use "the French" when you talk about the people in France as a whole.
The French are extremely proud of their cultural heritage.
The French and the German were once permanent enemies.
Use "Frenchmen" when you talk about persons from France individually.
Yesterday I met two Frenchmen who didn't speak other than French.
Most Frenchmen are smart dress

Hi guys,
I haven't heard the term 'Frenchman' for years. It sounds rather quaint.
In these gender-conscious times, I'd say that the term sounds like it is intended to exclude the women of France.

You can say "a French man" or " a French woman", depending on their gender.
And no, "Frenches" doesn't exist.

I'm also curious about the existence of the word "frenches" as I can say that "Italians " exists!
Am I wrong? Everywhere u can find this funny sentence: Italians do it better!
It's , of course, just a joke but I think this sentence well expresses what I mean!

Hi,
The commonest expressions are probably 'a French person' and 'French people'.

We often would use "a French person" eg. "there is a French person living in my house", because this is neutral (not male or female), ore more colloquially - " A French guy" or "a French girl" - "
She's a french girl"
"Frenchman, Frenchwoman" etc are seen to be old-fashioned, and in some cases almost racist (eg "Chinaman"), so should be avoided.
More frequently, we would be

CAMPBELLWe often would use "a French person" eg.

Thanks
