Best Answer

"Fat Sunday" is an English equivalent of the French phrase dimanche gras. The masculine singular phrase most famously references the Sunday of the week in which Lent begins in the Christian calendar and the tradition of exotic parades in Caribbean celebrations of Carnival. The pronunciation will be "dee-mawnsh gra" in French.

How do you say fatty in french?

The English word "fatty" translates to French as "gras", which translates back to English as "bold". However, the word "fat" in English can be translated to "graisse" in French(and then translated back to English as "fat" again. I don't actually know French, I used an online translator for this. Maybe a French person could give you a better answer. If you mean a person - gros(se), obèse, if you mean food etc - gras(se) - the fat content in food is called - matière grasse.
