Usage Note
Cette is the feminine singular 'this' or 'that', pairing with words like cette femme or cette idée where the masculine would use ce or cet. To pin down this versus that, French tacks -ci and -là onto the noun, contrasting cette fois-ci (this time) with cette fois-là (that time).
Examples
"Cette idée me plaît."
Natural Translation
I like this idea.
Literal Translation
This idea to-me pleases
