Notes
GENERAL INFO
Fête is a feminine noun meaning "party," "celebration," or "festival." It can also refer to a saint's day or public holiday.
USAGE
Commonly used in expressions like "faire la fête" (to party) or "bonne fête !" (Happy Birthday! / Happy Holiday! / Happy Name Day!). You might see "jour de fête" for a holiday.
TRAPS
Remember fête is always feminine ("une fête"). Do not confuse it with "fait" (from the verb *faire*, to do/make) or "faite" (feminine past participle of *faire*), which sound similar.
