citizen (english) =citoyen (french)

Thus the line in the national Anthem (La Marseillaise) which says "Aux armes, citoyens" meaning To arms, citizens!

Answer 2

i confirm that you say citoyen (masculine form) and citoyenne (feminin form).

i disagree the other person that say it's not often used...it's a very common word in french language....

i must also precise that this word that is a noun is now often used as an adjective

ex: "avoir un comportement citoyen" means having a behaviour that can benefit to the country....
