How this list was compiled: Every French word, its gender, its plural and its meaning was read on 2026-10-15 in two dictionaries. First the French-English dictionary of WordReference (https://www.wordreference.com/fren/ followed by the word): tête, cheveu (with cheveux, masculine plural, for the hair of the head), œil (plural yeux), oreille, nez (plural nez), bouche, cou, épaule, poitrine, torse, bras (plural bras), coude, poignet, main, doigt, ventre, estomac, jambe, genou (plural genoux), cheville, pied, orteil (glossed doigt de pied), abdomen (glossed ventre), thorax, corps and partie; and its English-French side (https://www.wordreference.com/enfr/ followed by the word) for belly (ventre) and toe (doigt de pied). Second the Larousse dictionary of French (https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/ followed by the word): the same 26 entries, each with its gender, with the plurals yeux and genoux in the headword, les parties du corps as the example under partie, thorax and torse as synonyms of poitrine, ventre as a synonym of abdomen, and doigts de pied explained as orteils under doigt. The wording of every line is our own. Licence: own work

How it works

Twenty labeled body parts in French on one drawing of a child. Every word is written with le, la, l' or les, because a French noun is learned with its gender.

Read the full guide

Plurals that take x

Le cheveu becomes les cheveux and le genou les genoux, with an x; l'œil becomes les yeux, a different word. Le bras and le nez do not change: les bras, les nez.

Words that get mixed up

Le cou is the neck, le coude the elbow. La jambe is the leg, le pied only the foot. Le doigt is a finger; a toe is un orteil.

  • L' hides the gender: l'œil is masculine, l'oreille and l'épaule are feminine.
  • As a French body parts quiz the drawing hides its words and asks them in a new order every time.
  • It prints blank, to label French body parts by hand, or with its words, as a labelled diagram of parts of the body in French.

Questions and answers

How do you say body parts in French?

Les parties du corps. Le corps is the body, a masculine noun, and la partie is a part, a feminine one. Larousse gives les parties du corps as an example under partie.

What is the plural of œil in French?

Les yeux: un œil, deux yeux. WordReference keeps a second plural, œils, for the eye of a fastener, the hole something is fixed through.

How do you say toes in French?

Les orteils; one toe is un orteil. Les doigts de pied, word for word the fingers of the foot, means the same, and both count when typed.

Is it le main or la main?

La main. Hand is feminine in French, une main and les mains, in WordReference and in Larousse. The words around it on the arm are masculine: le bras, le coude, le poignet and le doigt.

What is the difference between le ventre and l'estomac?

Le ventre is the belly, the part drawn here. L'estomac is the stomach, the organ, and WordReference also gives it for the belly. Both count when typed, and so does l'abdomen.
