Pronunciation
/swa.ʁe/
Cultural Note
French 'soirées' — house parties, dinner parties, or evenings out — are where much of French dating actually happens. Unlike American dating culture, the French often meet potential partners through social gatherings rather than apps. A 'soirée' is where natural chemistry can develop over wine, conversation, and shared company.
