There's also "mouais" or "mouaif" as a synonym of "bof", or a not really convinced "yes".

[@russellup4614]

About the "hop" sound, there is another slightly different alternative when you say "hop hop hop" in a very quick way. It is more used when you want someone to perform an action, but you want it to be rather fast. For example, if you're late and you want your kids to hurry, you might say "allez hop hop hop, on y va !"

[@sevenn4365]

[@Meonho22]

yes, when it's a high sound "hop hop hop" means "go, quickly", but when it is a low sound, "hop hop hop" means "stop!" or "slow down"... XD

[@seibusan1566]

The chop chop equivalent :)

[@novart9230]

Our "Merde doooh" would be spelled "Merdeuh" in french :D It's actually simply the final E who is strongly prononced when we usualy skip it. ;) (It's not the same as "merdeux" who's mean "little shit" and is an insult xp). "Tak" would be spelled "Tac" (thanks the french comics for writting all our weird little words :D) and "Hop" means a little step, jump so for a child it would be the little jumps he has to make to walk up the stairs :) You can add " la" behind like "hop la" to make the word stronger. In general, adding "la" behind is making the expression stronger like "hop la", "houla" (or "houlala"), "hey la" or "Nan mais c'était nul là !" (work also with "oh") ;)

[@yoannlekill]

@@NotEvenFrench sometimes we use it when we make fun of someone !

[@nemeart]

I caught myself doing it when I was very tired and annoyed by my son... I think it is mainly a way of saying yes but I’m so tired I can’t do it properly or sometimes when you feel sad for someone and as if you were saying yes but that would have been better if it didn’t happen, yes but this is unfortunate... For me, it does express a kind of regret... think it’s more used by women... And I think if you mock someone using it, it must be someone who think to much of him or herself taking himself too seriously, the kind that would think he or she is ’un artiste ou intellectuel incompris’... Du genre, houi jsais bien la vie est trop dure...

[@jnewmark41]

I can imagine. Some of these sounds are horrible to the ear.

[@astoriaparx9486]

Yeah, the second one is really "upperclass" style. Rhooo is rather a way to disapprove something but in a gentle way. eg : A: I apologize for offering you such a ridiculous diner but I my fridge was empty ! B : Rhoooo no, it's is really good ! Didn't read all comment s below. Sorry if it was mentioned before XD

[@korysful]

The gaspy "oui" is also a way to say yes like an arrogant person. When you say "oui oui oui" gaspy it's really arrogant or a joke

[@Grytem]

Yeah, you've got your point. This gaspy "oui" isn't an irreplaceable sound, you can just say oui on a normal way. I'm French and personnally I never do this noise, because it's arrogant as you said it. You definitely have other ways to express agreement ! 😂

"Hein" at the end of an interrogative sentence replaces the "Question Tag" in English. Example: Tu comprends, hein? ===> You understand, don't you?

[@Rnbw16]

Another one I really noticed in France is that French people tend to whisper/aspirate the word merci if it's just for a small thing, for example when someone says "merci" when you hold the door for them a lot of times just sounds like a really aspirated "cihhh", sometimes you even only hear a bit of air coming out of their mouth and it actually means thank you.

5:10 As a francophone it's very interesting to hear your explanation about this sound! 😃 Love the explanation, I guess it could also be that one wants to confirm what has just been said but at the same time, they don't want to interrupt the person speaking so the weird sound "ouai" comes out 😂😅 Have a good day! :-)

I'm Norwegian and we also have the "gasping" sound when we say yes ("ja"). We also have the "m" sound for agreeing, but we double it up, like m-m. And last, where I come from we have the French "R" and we also use the "rohhh" sound when we're somewhat annoyed/irritated.

It means "yes" but in a very unconvinced mood. So it's more like a "maybe... you're probably wrong but I don't want to disagree". Conflict avoidance skeptikal word and sound :)

[@randompasserby3594]

Dated a Belgian, a French, and a Swiss; it could be a Francophone thing but they definitely do that "pfft" or "farty sound" or "cheek-popping sound" very naturally -- mid-convo, even! (I'd ask them what that was, and they would say "what sound?")

My French teacher tried to get us to use this instead of "um" when we were thinking of the correct word, to at least keep our mouths and brains in French! It does help!

[@MetaMM]

That's the best teaching that I so enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@mikeg6814]

In Canada, french canadians don't make most of these sounds. And for those we use, the meaning differs a little. For example, the sound "aie" could be translated as "hey!" in english or "enough" depending on the context. Same goes for "Allez Hop". Here, it's more like "Allez Up" meaning "Get up" it's time to go.

[@nathanangelus]

As a Frenchman, this is funny to hear all those sounds out of their context... ^^ Nevertheless, they're perfeclty true. For the "Tak" thing, usually, it's when you are doing something quick with a pencil or your finger (draw a line on paper, draw a check mark on a list or cross a word on a list, follow a road on a map, do fast clicks on a computer(like when you are in a hurry)) and the length of the "tak" sound will follow the length of each actions like "taaaak-tak-tak-taak-tak-taaaak". ^^

[@padbra]

"roh" and "the growl" are the same thing actually. And poking your cheek to make a Prrt means "that's bullshit" or "i don't care" and not "i don't know". Another one you didn't mention is the succion sound we make with our tongue and our palate, like a "Tsk". If there is one of it, it's a (rude) way to express your displeasure (think of an elder woman making a tsk in the direction of some noisy teenagers, it would mean "hey! you make too much noise"), and if it is tsk tsk tsk, it's disapproval of something (sometimes if you want to exagerate it for fun) like "tsk tsk tsk *nodding negatively your head* i told you not to do that".

[@dmlkcs8620]

Dark Padbra, 😂.... yes we do that too and it is so rude! 😂

[@charlottaberg1997]

I'm sure I've heard the "prout" sound used for expressing both "that's bullshit", "I don't care" and "I don't know", but it's like an "I don't know and it doesn't seem very important to me". A single "tsk" sound can also mean "no", but it's a lazy and a bit impolite way of saying "non". At least, this is how my late (French) father-in-law explained it to me, and he was was very interested in and knowledgeable about all linguistic matters. And that's how I've experienced it myself: When living in Paris in 1988, I took a French course for foreigners at the Institut Catholique ... and the secretary there did not answer my questions with "non" but simply made that "tsk" sound. I was very surprised But I had in fact previously had a French teacher, Mme Prouillac, at my French university course in Sweden, who used "tsk" all the time in the classroom to signal to us that we had produced an incorrect answer to one of her questions ... She scared the shit out of us, since the "tsk" sound is used in Swedish also, but only as "tsk tsk tsk" and then meaning "[No, i'ts wrong and] you are stupid" or perhaps "What the hell are/were you thinking?!" as a commentary to something silly someone has done. Nobody wanted to answer in class, for fear of hearing that sound, so we mostly kept quiet and did not practice our French conversation. :))

[@ActionCat2000]

My favorite was the puffing the cheek and "popping" it. So funny! I was expecting to hear "euh" for thinking, but maybe it's not weird enough XD

[@t3rr3sl4]

As an expat living in Paris, I can vouch for all this sounds!! Especially the inspired "oui", hahahaha.

[@valp991]

Haha, well spotted ! I am french and I always say « Ola » instead of « olala ». It’s less strong. The longer the word is, the more you are shocked. You can use it when you are blasé too or in an ironic way « ola/olala. Relax, you are not going to die » in response to a friend who is overreacting to something. There is also the word « Oula », which is slightly different. Most of the time it’s a reaction to a story, kind of agreement when someone is telling you something shocking, a situation which happened which was not ok or complicated. As an agreement, you can reply « oula, oui » or « oula, compliqué » or « oula, c’est chaud » = you agree and you are shocked too by the situation. You didn’t mention the sound « Han » which is like a gasp, a breathing too. We use it when we are shocked, when we discover something shocking « Han ! There is a water leak in the kitchen ! » or when we realise we have forgotten something « han ! mon passeport ! » etc In Alsace, people say « Hopla » instead of « Hop » and they use it in every sentence haha

"allez hop!" is like 'let's go/let's jump in", you might have seen Air France planes with "Hop!" written on the side, mostly those used for short distance flights. It's like they're doing "small jumps". It''s like a sound you'd make(dont ask me why) when jumping.

Coucou, je dois dire que ta video etait vraiment divertissante ! En tant que francais, on en oublie facilement que l'on fait tant de bruits étranges , haha

[@charline7956]

I realised i was doing those sounds with you during mid video 😂 The gasping "ouais ouais ouais" is the woooooorst !!!!!!! So French this "rrrh" 😂 I also use the "rrrhhh" with a raising eyes to heaven when someone tells me a sassy joke inappropiatly

[@blandineremy670]

All of this is so true! But as a French person I think I would write "tac" with a c, not a k. Thanks for this video that made me realize all these sounds I was making without noticing 😅

[@sarahgoncuoglu4836]

Omg this is soooo true ! I think you’ve said it all 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@marciaricksgers2018]

A friend makes a sound when she’s consternated~ she furrows her brow and makes a pout, and says “eu”, like ooh but shorter. She will say it a few times, but always with a pause

[@dmlkcs8620]

🤣 .... I’m French and know exactly what you described and yes, we do that! 🤣

[@daedalusdreamjournal5925]

As a french person, those videos are always not just entirely true but also completely hilarious!! ... no wonder I am a fan of this channel and Paul Taylor !!! ;) Signed: Jean pierre (which actually makes me a wanker since it's not my true name xD)

French people are so cute, that's one of the biggest reason why I am living in France now

"Bof" is usually used to describe something average, neither good nor bad. Like: Did you enjoy the movie? "hmmm, bof". What do you think of this idea ? "Bof, tu peux faire mieux". You're right, it can also be replaced by "je ne sais pas", but always with the idea that it's neither good nor bad. "Je ne sais pas" used like this would rather means that you have no opinion about the subject than not knowing about the subject. But "oui' oui' oui, bonne vidéo, et maintenant hop hop hop, au dodo (on va se coucher)" 😋

[@etistyle96]

bof is actually a real word : "beauf" which mean "not great" in the current language. And "beauf" is actualy the contracted word of "beau-frère" which mean "brother-in-law"

[@Misstribespirit]

This is hilarious. As a daughter to a French mother (I live in Israel) many of these sounds are really natural to me but I had now idea that some might identify them with being French. Now that I think about it most of them are not common among my homeland friends :)

[@duduver1798]

Love it! You could’ve mentioned the sucking sound they make in between words

[@regissantonja]

Très amusant, très bien observé !

[@stevenlawrie7819]

I use all of them lol my fave is the popping noise with a wave over the shoulder lol

[@seanmartinez8415]

One I've noticed as strange/annoying is when people hiss like an angry cat at the end of words that end in an "e" or in french, "i" sound. Like, merci, parti, gentille, etc. sounds like, "mercihhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

[@benoitxyz5859]

ooooh oui ! It doesn't mean anything, I hear it a lot from french women, and I don't why, but it really gets on my nerves

[@inspfx2812]

Rholala!!!! 🤣 Love your videos, French here 💖
