Notes
GENERAL INFO
Ouais means "yeah" or "yep." It is an informal interjection used to express agreement or affirmation.
USAGE
You'll hear ouais frequently in casual conversations, among friends or family. It's a quick, relaxed way to say "yes." For example: "Tu veux manger? – Ouais." (Do you want to eat? – Yeah.)
REGISTER
Ouais is very informal, almost slang. Never use it in formal situations or with people you don't know well; always use "oui" instead. Using ouais formally can sound rude or dismissive.
