Let’s say there’s someone I want to call Mr/Ms/Mrs [Name], but I don’t know their gender, is there a title I can use that doesn’t assume their gender?

    To be fair, there is no gender neutrality in the french language. Every noun has a gender, from people, to tables, to rocks, to clouds.

      Well, it depends. Some nouns are epicene, like “enfant” or “adulte” (“un/une enfant/adulte”). Many adjectives are: “rapide”, solide", “mobile”…
