“Faite” means “made/done” (feminine past participle of faire), while “faîte” is a noun for the top of something, like a roof ridge, a mountain summit, or figuratively the peak of success.
The word “faite” is commonly used in French to indicate something that has been completed or created, especially in feminine contexts, for example “une maison faite à la main” (“a house made by hand”). In contrast, “faîte” with a circumflex is a masculine noun with more specialized meanings. In architecture, it refers to the ridge line of a roof where two slopes meet. In geography, it designates the highest point or crest of a mountain or hill. Figuratively, it expresses the idea of reaching the highest level of something, such as fame, career, or glory (“au faîte de la renommée”). Although they are spelled differently, both words are usually pronounced the same in modern French, and orthographic reforms have even allowed “faite” as an accepted spelling of “faîte.” This often makes context the only way to distinguish between them in both written and spoken use.
