M
Mademoiselle = Miss
- Like in many other languages that make the distinction, this is to refer to an unmarried woman. Due to a protest from Feminist Organisations in France, this word has been abolished and completely removed from official documents. People no longer need to distinct between "Mademoiselle" and "Madame" (English equivalent: Miss and Mrs respectively), although some people still do.
Magnifique = Wonderful
Ma puce = My flea

Majesté = Majesty
Merci = Thank you
Monsieurs = misters.
- Although Enter pronounces it like that, this is actually a mistake of his part. The word is derived from "monsieur", which in turn comes from "mon seigneur", meaning "my lord".
