Mardi Gras: Ordering traditional crepes or waffles

💬 French repeats au before each choice, where English would say it once.

🇫🇷 Sugar and Nutella are the standard choices at a street stand. Fancier toppings are more of a sit-down crêperie thing.

💬 Alors at the start works like "so" or "okay then". It signals you've made up your mind.

💬 Ça fait plus a price is how you'll hear any total, as in Ça fait dix euros. In six euros the x is said as a z sound and runs into the next word (see-zuh-roh).

🇫🇷 Say it as you hand over your money, and the vendor will say it back as they pass you the food.

💬 Voilà can go straight before a thing to mean "here's", as in Voilà la monnaie "here's the change".

💬 votre is the polite "your". You'd say ta gaufre only to a friend or a child.

💬 Bon + an occasion is the standard way to wish someone well: swap in Bon anniversaire ! "Happy birthday!" or Bon appétit ! "Enjoy your meal!"

💬 This is the all-purpose way to bounce any good wish back. Use À toi aussi ! with someone you call tu.

🇫🇷 This is the standard reply when a vendor wishes you a good day. Saying it back politely ends the exchange on a friendly note.

💬 journée means the whole span of the day. After about 5 pm switch to Bonne soirée "Have a nice evening".
