1000 Most Common French Words When starting to learn French, it is always a good idea to memorize the most common words first. This will enable you to understand many more situations than if you were leaning your French vocabulary from random sources. Here's the list of most common French words along with their English translation. Note that some words in the list perform a similar function and can be grouped into a single entry with a higher combined rank. These words include: de and d' -- translated as of, from, by, than, in, with. Combining them brings de/d' to the second position in the list. un, une and des -- the French equivalents for a, an and some le, la, l' and les -- the French equivalents for the mon, ma and mes -- the French equivalents for my t' and te -- the French equivalents for you, yourself
