préjugé

prejudice, bias

noun preh-zhoo-ZHEH Rare
Mind & Emotions Attitudes

Usage Note

Préjugé literally means a pre-judgment. Avoir des préjugés contre means to be prejudiced against someone. The adjective sans préjugés (without prejudice, open-minded) is common. Do not confuse with préjudice (m), which means harm or legal damage — a false cognate trap for English speakers.

Examples

"Il faut dépasser ses préjugés."

Natural Translation

You have to get past your prejudices.

Literal Translation

One must get past one's prejudices.
