用法筆記

The English word is borrowed from French and is most often written with the accent: 'fiancé'. The matching word for the woman is 'fiancée' (with double 'e'). Once the wedding happens, both terms are replaced by 'husband' and 'wife'. Almost always appears with a possessive ('my', 'her', 'their').
