Modern French
The term "Bonnet" remains in use in modern European French (France, Belgium, Switzerland...), but uses of "bonnet" in other languages very often do not correspond with those in English. Regarding winter headgear, it is mostly used as common denomination for knitted beanies or ski hats. The term is uncommon with Québécois who prefer the term tuque to designate those hats.
