Common Mistakes

  • C'est sur ton carte de débit...

    Use "ta" only with feminine nouns; "carte" is feminine, so "ta" is correct. A common error is using "ton" here.

  • C'est sur ton carte de débit...

    The preposition "sur" must agree with the gender of the noun via the possessive adjective, not the preposition.

  • C'est sur ton relevé.

    When speaking formally, replace "ton" with "votre"; using "ton" can sound too casual with a bank employee.

Alternatives

  • C’est indiqué sur votre carte de débit ou sur votre relevé.

    It is indicated on your debit card or on your statement.

  • Vous le trouverez sur votre carte de débit ou votre relevé.

    You will find it on your debit card or your statement.

  • C’est sur votre carte bancaire ou sur votre relevé de compte.

    It’s on your bank card or on your account statement.

Cultural Tip

In France, "carte de débit" is less common in everyday speech than "carte bancaire" or "carte de paiement". When speaking formally (e.g., with a bank representative), use the polite "votre" instead of the informal "ta/ton". Also, French bank statements are called "relevé de compte" and often arrive by mail or online.
