[ohn kohn-teen-YOO ah ahn-koo-rah-ZHAY NOH-truh ay-KEEP]
💬 Usage Tip: A perfect fan sentence: "On continue" = "we keep going," "à encourager" = "cheering on," and "notre équipe" = "our team." Very natural spoken French for rallying people after a near miss.
🇫🇷 In France: This is exactly the kind of supportive line you could hear during World Cup 2026: after a close call, French fans often switch quickly from panic to encouragement and keep singing for the team.
