What does es mean in french?

"Es" in French doesn't have a meaning on its own. It's part of the verb conjugation for the third-person singular in the present tense.

Here's how it works:

* "Es" indicates that the subject is he, she, or it.

* It is used with verbs that have a stem ending in "-er".

For example:

* Il parle. (He speaks.) - "Parle" is the verb stem "parl" + "e" for the third-person singular.

* Elle mange. (She eats.) - "Mange" is the verb stem "mang" + "e" for the third-person singular.

* Le chien dort. (The dog sleeps.) - "Dort" is the verb stem "dor" + "t" for the third-person singular.

Note: The "s" in "es" is silent, so you wouldn't hear it when spoken.
