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 !"

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") ;)

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’...

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.

"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".

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. :))

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

Some of these may be explained rationally. - Bah < ben < hé bien (it’s already been explained elsewhere) - Rho là là : it’s actually an hyper emphatic version of ho là là - The "growl" is just about the same: an hyper emphatic sigh, just to show we’re annoyed - The prrt thing is, in my opinion, just the same. One usually makes a pout to show their ignorance about a matter, the prrt just emphacises it (hey! I’m making a pout!). Same with the cheek sound, which is a fancy version. About "hein", I feel like its purpose is similar to what we call "question tags" in English class (such as "isn’t it?") About "merde", it’s actually the "e" that is stressed, same with "aïe", so we’ll see such things as "merdeuh", "aïeuh". Also works with "mais", mainly in child speech when one is annoyed "mais arrête de m’embêter" becomes "maiiiis" and finally "méheu!" (often used jokingly by the way). You may be interested with the word "quoi" often used in the end of declarative sentences, and may become a language tic to some people. "C’est moi, quoi!"

Ah ben si si, des fois, tant que étranger j'ai halluciné quand j'ai entendu le bruit 'khhoooo!!!' (le bruit français pour signaler la frustration). Une autre fois, j'étais dans le métro et quelqu'un a marché sur le pied d'une dame, quand elle a crié 'AA-YEUUH!!!!' j'étais mort de rire.

"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)" 😋

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"

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 :)

Very interesting. I note that at 10:14, the «MMM» is more in a repetition like «MMM-MMM», meaning I agree to what you are saying. I also note this approval «MMM» in Japanese culture. And usually they will nod their heads while saying «MMM». (I’m note specialized in Japanese, I juste noted that in films, interviews, etc). I think you missed a sound like the «Paf !» or «Éh paf !» when you want to emphasis an action or event, for exemple; I was going for a walk without my humbrella, then «paf» it started to rain!

Not only do we say those all the time, but I definitely write them when I text too! So important to the french language 😀 "pfffff" "rrrrrrr" "rohhhh" "holala" "bah" "euh" (and now I realize that the previous are all used more or less to express annoyance... the French love to complain, even as a joke)

"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.

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".

Thanks for this compilatioin. Loved it. The 'inbreath -yes' is actually a thing in the norther parts of Sweden as well. It is a dialect thing, saying 'Yoo' on inbreath (meaning yes), I hadn't noticed the French does it as well.

Great video ! I didn't realise we (I am french) were making all of these noises ahah ! Is there no equivalent for all of these sounds in english (I am curious) ? I could also add these explanations and other "onomatopées" (this is what we call these sounds in french : - "Bah oui" would mean yes of course / yes obviously (in this case bah would be short), - "ouais (aspiré) c'est vrai" is different from the normal oui/ouais. I think i shows enthousiam and that we really agree with the person (but I am not sure because it is hard to explain these without context), - "Hop hop hop" means quick quick quick or "hop hop hop pas si vite" rather means stop wait, - "bof, j'aime pas trop" means I don't really like it, - "Olala trop bien" shows that olala can be positive in this case it means oh great (i juste realised that i use "trop" a lot), - "hein, quoi ?" could also be used when you have perfectly heard the person but you can't believe what she says, - "ouf" would be used to express relief - "t" (I don't know how to write this one i should record myself) is used when you are upset a bit like the tchip sound in african countries There are so many other sounds but i will stop there :)

This was definitly funny : as a french, I don't really know what sounds weird for foreigners :) Small correction : your "tak" is spelled "tac" in french, like in the expression "répondre du tac au tac", which means to reply instantly to someone who said something. The inhaling "oui" you like so much isn't very common, and doesn't really have a real meaning. Some people, usually introverted people or in an introverted mood, say this to replace the listening "mmm", but maybe that would be over-analyzing this particular one.

Always funny to be facing what we don't pay attention to since it's quite natural for us to act and talk that way... Even more strange in my case 'cause i'm not living in France and kind of "relearning" we do actually those sounds... Bonjour de Thaïlande !

The "houi" or "houais" sound is something a lot of us don't like and make fun of. It's pretty... idk, posh, superior ? As for the finger poking the cheek to make like a fart sound, someone already said below : it can mean "this is bullshit" ou "I'm not listening, whatever". "Bah" and "Ben" (pronounced like "bain") are the same thing, it's the slang equivalent of "et bien..." when you have to collect your thoughts or choose the right words :)

Thanks for confirming that "baaah" is actually "beeen", with a nasal vowel, n'est-ce pas = "eh bien" = "Well, ..." in English. This is how I've always understood it. And it's true that French people use it a lot. Me too, by the way, when I speak French ;) I like it!

I think (I heard it in some video), that "râler" is indeed related to the word "râle" which mean the sound of a animal dying.. so "un râle" may actually be the sound "rohh" that we do when mimicing death.. In fact when we do the sound, we actually often close our eyes and tilt our head like it's unsupported (I'm french, I do it all the time, I had no idea why)...
