Frequently, much to the amusement of Celine and her family, I can be caught just wandering around the house slowly saying French words to myself for no other reason than because I can and because I love the sound of the words. The best example of this is me standing scraping food scraps into the bin after dinner just saying "Poubelle" over and over, in my oh-so-romantic French voice, purely for my own enjoyment. Here's a list of words I never miss a chance to say...
~A list of epic French Words~
Word: Rigolo (Rhi-go-low)
Means: Funny
Eg: C'est tres rigolo :)
I adore just wandering around saying that things are funny in French.
I often use this word in combination with "bizzare" C'est bizzare!
Word: Mercredi (M-erh-krah-di)
Means: Wednesday
It's just one of those beautiful words to say/hear in French. Don't ask me why.
Word: Poubelle (Poo-beh-ll)
Means: Rubbish
I think I'm fond of some of the dumbest words possible in French... This just strikes me as the best meeting ever of "Pumba" (Lion King) and "belly"!
Word: Peut-ĂȘtre (Poo-tetra)
Means: Maybe
First of all, it sounds like someone saying Potatoes in a hilarious accent. Second of all it's great fun to say pootetttraaaa and you get to shrug and look non-chalant while you say it...
Word: Pamplemousse (Parm-pleh-mousse)
Means: Grapefruit
This one is curtesy of Andria I first learnt the word. And I have to agree, it's just the sexiest word ever, I wish it meant something cooler than grapefruit. Anyone who says it just sounds like they're kissing some amazingly soft imaginary object and it's hard to say it without putting on bedroom eyes.
Word: Allo (Ah-lo)
Means: Hello. But it's mainly used the way we say "right/so/okay"
For example people just wander around getting things ready going...hmmm. allo. Here's the juice! Or *write write write...flip the book around to show you* Allo. See here?
Hehe it's an extremely adorable trait and is often used in conjunction with "Voila". I've found I'm picking up on this habit really quick too though so watch out, when I come home I might accidentally do this... a lot.
~This list will only continue to grow because this language was clearly made purely for my personal amusement and enjoyment~
