I think what you have at the moment 'La Jolie Fleur' is correct. Double check with someone though..

[noorahmad]

la jolie fleur

[Ali.]

I'm really almost positive it's La Fleur Jolie...

Because (for those of you that are studying French) you'd say "La Fleur Rouge"; The Red Flower, the adjective comes after the noun in French.
You're username has confused me for a while as translators say your current username is correct when I'm sure it isn't :phew.

It's La jolie fleur. Check this out:


The placement of most adjectives in French is after the noun: un escargot parlant, une fourmi travailleuse, des tatous intelligents, etc. There is a small group of adjectives, however, that normally precede the noun. These adjectives may be categorized as adjectives of Beauty, Age, Numbers Goodness, and Size (BANGS).

Wardah I'm sure is pretty slang though, it's best to use zahra.

[Re.TiReD]

AssalamuAlaykum!

You're All Feeesh! :D

Firstly, Jolie means pretty, NOT beautiful :D

Secondly Wardah means rose, NOT flower

Thirdly Zahrah means flower, NOT anything else.

And Fourthly, just for some extra info: ZahratuzZarqa means the blue flower :D (I think :muddlehea)

WassalamuAlaykum

P.S. If the last one is incerrect its coz I did it on purpose just so that you guys wouldnt feel like retards for getting it all wrong :D
