[Opinions] Re: It can mean beautiful too. nt
in reply to a message by Kristen
Some dictionaries say beautiful, some say handsome, some say both. If you're referring to a man, or a masculine object, and you want to call it beautiful, you would say beau, not belle.
I think the confusion may be coming from the fact that females are typically described as "beautiful" while men are "handsome," although both words can be used for either gender.
