Enfant de genre féminin, par opposition à garçon ; aussi appelée fillette ou petite fille.
A female child in relation to her parents.
Gender: féminin (la/une). Pluriel: filles.
🇬🇧 Countable noun. Plural: daughters. Note the silent 'gh' — daughter is pronounced /ˈdɔː.tər/, not 'dag-ter'. Common collocations: eldest daughter, youngest daughter, daughter-in-law (your son's wife).
The phrase 'like mother, like daughter' means that a daughter is very similar to her mother in behaviour or appearance. 'Daughter tongue' is sometimes used poetically to describe a language that developed from an older one.
