Un style ou un jeu original, une oeuvre originale. ‘ Original ‘ désigne enfin le caractère singulier d’une personne. Cet homme est un original (un excentrique). 2 - Originel:-est en lien direct avec l’origine, et ne s’emploie pas substantivement contrairement à ‘ original ‘. Cela signifie qu’on ne peut pas dire ‘ un originel ‘, alors qu’on peut dire ‘ un original ‘. Péché originel, justice originelle. read less

original = the first, as opposed to the reproduction/copy which came later (the original painting, an original idea, etc) originel = related to the origins, the very beginning (original sin, the original habitat of a species, etc.)

How can you tell if a noun is masculine or feminine in French?
In French, nouns are either masculine or feminine. Some general rules can help: nouns ending in -e are typically feminine (e.g., une table - a table), while nouns ending in -age, -ment, or -eau are usually masculine (e.g., un livre - a book).
