Teen French expressions
For if you want to make hip young friends.
Disclaimer: French people complain a lot. A lot. Donât be surprised if 90% of these expressions are complaining.
Non mais oh - say this if someone does something mildly annoying and you want to express your shock and distaste.
Tu me fais chier - (alt. tu me fais chier, lĂ .) literally âyou make me shitâ. means youâre pissing me off.
CarrĂŠment - translates to âsquarelyâ. Means âliterallyâ. If someone tells you something surprising or annoying, you can answer simply âah carrĂŠment.â see: tu me fais carrĂŠment chier.
Jâhallucine / je rĂŞve - are you annoyed by something? say these.
Câest pas possible - a classic. anything bad happens - câest pas possible. There is no cheese left? Itâs not possible. Iâm hallucinating. This is a burden on me that solely I can bear I cannot believe this is happening.
Ăa commence Ă me gaver - Iâm starting to get real sick of this. see: Ăa commence carrĂŠment a me gaver lĂ , putain.
Tâes relou - verlan slang for âlourdâ meaning someoneâs heavy, personality-wise. Theyâre tedious.
Ăa me saoĂťle / ça me gonfle - similar to gaver, means somethingâs pissing you off, youâre sick of it.
Grave - totally.
Câest clair - totally/thatâs clear. Like âclaroâ in spanish. âJustine elle est trop relouâ âCâest clair. Elle me fait chier.â
Jâen ai marre - Iâm sick of this.
Jâen ai ras le bol - Iâm sick of this.
Jâen ai ras le cul - Iâm sick of this (vulgar).
(Jâen ai) Rien Ă battre - I donât give a damn.
(Jâen ai) Rien Ă foutre - I donât give a fuck.
Câest bon, lĂ . - Â Thatâs enough.
Perso, euh, - âPersonally,â generally used at the start of a complaining sentence, to express how personal the matter is to you. Perso, euh, câest bon lĂ . Jâen ai ras le cul.
RĂ´h lĂ - general expression of distaste. Le longer the rĂ´h, the more annoyed you are. RĂ´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´Ă´h, câest quoi ce bordel.
Câest quoi ce bordel ? - translates to âwhatâs this brothelâ, means âwhatâs this shit?!â
Câest de la merde - Itâs shit.
Câest une blague ? - Is this a joke?
Idem - ditto
Jâai la dalle - Iâm hungry
Ăa caille - Itâs freezing
Ouf - two meanings 1. phew or 2. verlan for âfouâ, meaning crazy (as a noun or adjective). âKĂŠvin, câest un ouf! Il fait du vĂŠlo sans casque!â âOuais carrĂŠment, câĂŠtait un truc de ouf!â
KĂŠvin - thereâs a running joke that all the young delinquents seem to be called KĂŠvin.
Crever - slang for âto dieâ. Va crever, connard!
Connard/Connasse - c*nt, but a lot less vulgar in french peoples eyes
And finally,
Tâes con. No English translation can express the power behind the words âtâes conâ. While it may sort of translate to âyouâre a c*nt/idiotâ, it expresses something much deeper. You really are a god damn fool.
Iâm dead.
Do you think that foreigners who are learning French at school can understand a sentence like this?
The sentence is : ki sor ajd les kheys lo
It means âwho wants to go out today, bros?â
Ki = qui = who
Sor = sort = goes out
Ajd = aujourd'hui = today
Les kheys = les frères = bros
Lo = lĂ = doesnât really mean anything itâs just a way to ponctuate a sentence.
