معنی

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In France, 'C'est génial' is often used with a specific rising intonation on the 'nial' to show extra excitement. In Quebec, while 'C'est génial' is understood, you are just as likely to hear 'C'est l'fun' or 'C'est écoeurant' (which slangily means 'awesome' despite its literal meaning of 'disgusting'). On French TikTok and Instagram, 'Génial' is often replaced by 'Incroyable' or 'Pépite' (a nugget/gem) by Gen Z.

💡

Use it as a filler

If you don't know what to say when someone tells you good news, 'C'est génial !' is always a safe and polite choice.

⚠️

Watch the 'g'

Don't pronounce it with a hard 'g' like 'goat'. It's a soft 'zh' sound.
