What is the French for seal?

The French word for "seal" depends on what kind of seal you're referring to:

* Animal seal: phoque (pronounced "fohk")

* Seal (for sealing things): sceau (pronounced "soh")

So, if you're talking about a seal that lives in the ocean, you would use phoque. If you're talking about a seal used to close a letter or package, you would use sceau.
