Notes
GENERAL INFO
Amour means "love" and is a noun. It is typically masculine in the singular (un amour).
USAGE
It's used broadly for romantic, platonic, or familial love.
Examples: "L'amour de ma vie" (the love of my life), "un amour fou" (a crazy love).
TRAPS
While singular amour is masculine, in the plural, when referring to abstract love or romantic affairs, it becomes feminine and takes feminine adjectives: "de belles amours" (beautiful loves/affairs).
However, for specific beloved people or objects, it often remains masculine: "mes premiers amours" (my first loves).
