[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0="Michiel"]I was just confused by my title at first, because 'ma belle' is female and 'Michiel' rhymes with 'seal', not with 'belle'/'bell'.[/quoteost_uid0]
French nouns are male or female. "Belle" is female, therefore it would be "ma." Like madame = "my lady" and monsieur = "my lord." "Monsieur" is the term for "Mr." whether you're male or female. Edit: the speaker, that is.

It could be Michiel ma Bele, but that's mean. [/colorost_uid0]
