*laisse tomber* = just leave it *grave* = positive/negative (bad) confirmation *mec* = guy (like, that guy) *mytho* = say in disbelief (myth) *kiffer* = to like (a lot) appreciation| to like someone *ouf* = verlan--> not sure but i think she meant that it means crazy *avoir la flemme* = to be lazy *mdr* = mort de rire--> when youre laughing really hard (lol) *meuf* = your girl *go* = girl as well *coup de coeur* = you really like something *nanani nanana* = to cancel a point *vas-y* =goodbye to friends, go ahead informal *quoi de neuf* = whats up *bagnole* = car *se barrer* = when someone disappeared suddendly *la bouffe, bouffer* = la bouffe= food bouffer = to eat *déchirer* = you rock *faire dodo* = to have a nap kind of/sleep *fric* =money *pote* = friend

@themariokartdude 4 жыл бұрын

ptites corrections: grave =means "very" but can be used as a form of confirmation mytho = liar/lying ouf = verlan of "fou" meaning crazy meuf/go = just means girl, your girl would be "ta meuf/ ta gow" vas-y = this can have a lot of meanings and it can be used in plenty of instances instead of words such as "come on/nah/yo/please/lets go/do it" this one would be pretty hard to grasp for a non native. An example would be "vazy stp" meaning "come on, please" se barrer = this just means to leave déchirer = to rock, interchangeable with the word "lit" these are pretty basic slang words tbh, and some are not even considered slang like "faire dodo/ faire tomber/ quoi de neuf" which would fall in the category of commonly used expressions.

That darn "mdr" drove me crazy. I would see it in instagram comments all the time and knew I was missing the point lol. I also noticed that french speakers tend to turn words like "je suis" to "j'suis" but i assume its probably easier to type or something.

@TheUrbanEve 5 жыл бұрын

Yes, they sinply shorten it. Like when I talked in the video. You actually say “j’suis” colloquially. Just like leaving out the “ne” when negating. You’d say “je suis pas..” instead of “je ne suis pas..”.

You explain very well these expressions. Just a few additions: gars’ for ‘mec’ (or ‘keum’ in verland), ‘se casser’ or ´s’arracher’ for ‘se barrer’, ‘zyva’ (verlan of ‘vas y’) but just to mean leave me alone, the past participle ´déchiré’ to say high/stone/wasted ( also ´défoncé’, its verlan ‘fonsdé’ or ‘arraché, ´la thune’ for ‘le fric’ ( there are just so many expressions but these 2 are the most common, maybe be with ´le blé’ which means wheat), ´une caisse’ for ‘bagnole’ ... it’s also super useful to know some slang when living abroad :)
