Best Answer

le, la, les are articles in French. You put them before a noun:

le (followed by a masculine noun) > le matin

la (followed by a feminine noun) > la voiture

le (followed by a plural of any gender)

The article l' stands for the singular le or la, meaning you can use it with a singular masculine or feminine noun, when the word begins by a vowel sound.

ex: eau (water) is feminine, and the article should be 'la', but it is replaced by l', for the purpose of pronounciation. > l'eau est froide = the water is cold

ex 2: oiseau (bird) is masculine, and the article should be 'le', but it is replaced by l', for the purpose of pronounciation. > l'oiseau chante = the bird is singing

What is 'enthusiasm' when translated from English to French?

Enthusiasme is a literal French equivalent of the English word "enthusiasm." The masculine singular word may be preceded immediately by the masculine singular l' since French employs definite articles where English does and does not use "the." The pronunciation will be "(l)aw-tyoo-zyasm" in Alsatian French and "(l)aw-tyoo-zya-smuh" in Cevenol French.
