enchanté, enchantée

enchanté
 pleased to meet you! (for a man)
enchantée
 pleased to meet you! (for a woman)

Same sound, different spelling. Enchanté is masculine and is used by a man, enchantée is feminine and used by a woman.

In French, all nouns are either masculine or feminine. Words like enchanté and enchantée (adjectives) which refer to nouns, 'agree' with these nouns, ie. take on a masculine or feminine form as well.

See also français, française.
