Mensuelle

Mensuelle is the feminine form of the French adjective mensuel, meaning monthly or occurring every month. It is used to describe items or events that follow a monthly cadence, such as payments, reports, budgets, or publications. The masculine form is mensuel, and the plural forms are mensuels (masculine) and mensuelles (feminine). The word derives from Latin mensualis, from mensis "month." In practice, common expressions include paiement mensuel (monthly payment), frais mensuels (monthly charges), budget mensuel (monthly budget), rapport mensuel (monthly report), and publication mensuelle (monthly publication). In finance, administration, journalism, and organizational planning, mensuelle signals a standard monthly interval rather than a one-off occurrence. The term may appear in contract language, subscription terms, or pension or salary schedules to denote a monthly cadence. In English-language writing, the direct cognate is usually translated as "monthly"; mensuelle is used primarily in French-language contexts or bilingual texts. The feminine form appears when the noun it modifies is feminine, as in "la facture mensuelle" or "une revue mensuelle." See also: mensuel, monthly, periodical. The concept remains a basic descriptor of time in calendars and accounting, reinforcing monthly cycles in business and public life.
