English person
Usage Note
Anglais functions as both a noun (the English language or an English person) and an adjective. Capitalised as a noun for nationality (un Anglais) but lowercase as an adjective (un accent anglais). The feminine adjective is anglaise, and the idiom filer à l'anglaise means to leave without saying goodbye — equivalent to 'to take French leave' in English.
Examples
"Elle parle anglais couramment."
