زمینه فرهنگی

In Paris, the 'sens de l'humour' is often synonymous with 'ironie' and 'répartie' (quick wit). It can sometimes feel aggressive to outsiders, but it's meant as a sign of intelligence and closeness. Quebec has a massive 'culture de l'humour'. Having a sense of humor is almost a civic duty. The 'Gala des Oliviers' celebrates humorists, who are the biggest stars in the province. Belgian humor often involves 'l'autodérision' (self-deprecation) and the 'surréalisme'. Having a sense of humor in Belgium means not taking oneself seriously at all. In many West African cultures, humor is used through 'la parenté à plaisanterie' (joking kinship), where certain clans are socially required to mock each other to maintain peace.

Humour vs Humeur

Don't say 'sens de l'humeur'. 'Humeur' is mood. You want 'humour' with an 'ou' sound.
