'nouvelle' is the feminine of 'nouvel'and 'nouveau'.
'nouvel' and 'nouveau' are the same thing but we use 'nouvel' in front of a vowel and 'h'
'neuf' is about an obect and means 'not used'
what is the difference between all of these?
nouveau, nouvel, nouvelle, neuf

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. May I suggest you invest in a good paperback French--->English, English--->French dictionary.
If you look up nouveau, nouvel, nouvelle you will find the meaning to be: new (other, additional, different, if used in front of a noun) (recent if used after the noun.)
nouveau + masculine singular noun EXCEPT before a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) or a mute "h" because then you use nouvel.
nouvelle + feminine singular noun
nouveaux + masculine plural noun
nouvelles + feminine plural noun.
If you look up neuf, neuve it is also new but more in the sense of "brand new" or "unused."
