être végétalien

No, they are different! Être végétalien means to be vegan, avoiding all animal products including dairy, eggs, and honey. Être végétarien means to be vegetarian, avoiding meat but often still consuming dairy and eggs.

You would say Je suis végétalien (if you're a man) or Je suis végétalienne (if you're a woman). Remember to match the gender!

Yes, you can! For example, you can say un plat végétalien (a vegan dish) or un gâteau végétalien (a vegan cake). The adjective form also changes for gender and number: végétalienne (feminine singular), végétaliens (masculine plural), végétaliennes (feminine plural).

A good way to ask is: Est-ce que ce plat est végétalien ? (Is this dish vegan?). Or, if you want to be more direct, Est-il végétalien ? (Is it vegan?).

Yes, it's becoming increasingly common, especially with the growing popularity of veganism. You'll hear and see it frequently in restaurants and grocery stores.

You would say fromage végétalien (vegan cheese) or lait végétalien (vegan milk). You just add the adjective végétalien/végétalienne after the noun.

While there isn't a single, widely accepted verb for 'to veganize,' you can express it using phrases like rendre végétalien (to make vegan) or adapter une recette en version végétalienne (to adapt a recipe to a vegan version).

The difference is gender. Un végétalien refers to a vegan man, and une végétalienne refers to a vegan woman. The 'e' at the end makes it feminine.

You could say: Avez-vous des options végétaliennes ? (Do you have vegan options?) or Quelles sont vos propositions végétaliennes ? (What are your vegan suggestions?).

Not really in everyday conversation. While you might see 'végé' for vegetarian in some contexts, for vegan, it's best to use the full word végétalien or végétalienne to avoid confusion.
