1) When you walk into a French kebab restaurant, and u see the menu saying "Nos kebabs", don't tell the guy you want Nos kebabs..cos Nos kebabs means Our Kebabs. During the 1st week of our stay in France..this was how a dialogue with the kebab store guy went.
Us : " Je veux un nos kebab" (I want an our kebab)
Kebab guy: "Tu sais dire kebab? (You mean kebab?)
Us: "Non non...je veux NOS kebab.." (Nono..I want OUR kebab)
Kebab guy looking pretty pissed: " C'est kebab...." (it is kebab)
Us looking quite lost: "!?!?@?..ce n'est pas nos kebab? " (!@#!!# it i not our kebab?)
Kebab guy walks away......
2) When the time is 930 in the morning or evening..and someone asks you for the time....
French guy(or chick) :"Excusez-moi, Quelle heure est il? " (Excuse me what time issit?)
You : "AMERICAN!!" (neuf-heure et quart in french for 930)
3) When someone tells you something and u understand and want to acknowledge it....
French chick: "blah blah blah blah....." (Its the same thing in english duh)
You: " Teh Koh...." (D'accord in french for understood, underwear in hokkien....)
