Hi,

In French we have 3 different words for a "Nun"

1) "Une Bonne soeur"
2) "Une nonne"
3) "Une soeur " (sous entendu "une soeur de la Foi")

is it incorrect in English or in American ? to use as a synonym of nun the word : "sister" ?



Thank you by advance

... No, it's absolutely correct ...
... Same as to why Catholic priests are often referred to as Father ...
