What are the quotation marks in french?

French uses guillemets (pronounced "gwee-yuh-may") for quotation marks, which are angled brackets:

* « » (opening and closing guillemets)

They are used in pairs to enclose direct quotes.

Example:

* « Je suis heureux », a-t-il dit.

(This translates to: "I am happy," he said.)

It's important to note that French also uses single quotation marks (' ') to indicate a quote within a quote.

Example:

* « Il a dit "Je suis fatigué" », a-t-elle rapporté.

(This translates to: "He said 'I am tired', " she reported.)
