Foi

“Foi” means faith or belief. For example, “Cet homme a une foi profonde.” (This man has deep faith). It can also refer to a religion or the act of getting married. “La liberté de foi est un droit fondamental” (Freedom of religion is a fundamental right). “Un mariage de foi” (A religious wedding).

Foie

“Foie” is a noun meaning liver, as in the internal organ. Some examples are “Le foie filtre le sang” (The liver filters blood) and “Le foie produit la bile” (The liver produces bile). Related words are “hépatite” (liver inflammation) and “cirrhose” (scarring of the liver).

Fois

“Fois” is used to express time or frequency. For instance, “C’est la première fois que je viens ici.” (It’s the first time I have come here). “Elle a voyagé trois fois cette année” (She traveled three times this year). The plural form is “fois” while the singular form is “fois”.

Paying attention to the context, grammar, and spelling will help identify which word is intended. With dedicated practice, French learners can master the subtle differences. Being able to distinguish these tricky sound-alike words is an important milestone in achieving fluency.
