French Texting: 20 Common Text Message Abbreviations For Phone, Emails and Facebook

Case and point- I resisted learning French texting abbreviations (sometimes referred to as “French text slang”) for a long time but finally caved because I was sick and tired of logging onto Facebook or reading phone text messages from my French friends and not understanding what the hell they were saying.

For example, QDN is something I would see from time to time from one of my friends which means “Quoi De Neuf” – “What’s new” in English.

French Texting Vocabulary

“Un texto” or “Un SMS” or “Un Message” : All three can be used to mean text message.

“Envoie-moi un texto” or “Envoie-moi un sms” or “Envoie moi un message” : All three can mean Send me a text message

Envoie-moi un message sur Facebook: Send me a message on Facebook.

envoyez-moi un courriel or envoyez-moi un e-mail: Both mean send me an email but the former is more formal or business like.
