If I wanted to say, "a French artist", would it be "un artist français" or "un français artist"?

I'm pretty sure the correct form is "un artist français", but I just want to check.
Thanks in advance.

Here it is for both of you! Note the spelling of "artist" in French.

un artiste français

Sra (aka Mme)

P.S. student is "un étudiant"

niether. etudient is student. "a french student" is "un etudient francais"

never mind...brain fart...it would be artist fracais

OK. thanks so much!!

Yes, you are correct. The correct form is "un artist français."

To understand the correct word order, it helps to know a little bit about how adjectives and nouns work in French. In French, adjectives usually come after the noun they describe, unlike in English where they typically come before the noun.

Here's how you can break down the phrase "a French artist":

1. Start with the noun: artist = artiste
2. Now, add the adjective: French = français
3. Since the adjective comes after the noun in French, you would say "un artiste français" to mean "a French artist."

So, "un artiste français" is the correct form to express "a French artist" in French.
