Question

My wife is a doctor:  Can this  be translated as 1)  " Ma femme est une médecine  . OR  2) Ma femme est médecin . Could you please let me know which one (if any) is correct, and an accompanying explanation would be appreciated.   Thanks

Accepted Answer

Hi Andrea,
You would say -
Ma femme est médecin 
Ma femme est  'docteure'  
( this was changed in 1993 to feminize trades and professions which previously only had male forms)
La médecine is the science and practice of Medicine.
It cannot be used as a profession.
Hope this helps!
