معنی
Informal word used for 'thing' or 'something one knows how to do'.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Système D' culture in France celebrates the ability to fix things with a 'truc' (a clever trick) rather than buying something new. In Quebec, 'truc' is used similarly, but you might also hear 'patente' or 'affaire' as common placeholders. The expression 'un truc de malade' or 'un truc de ouf' is a staple of urban French slang (Verlan) and is used constantly on social media. French business culture values precision. Using 'truc' in a meeting can be seen as a sign of 'laisser-aller' (carelessness).
The 'Emergency' Word
If you forget any noun in a French shop, just say 'le truc pour...' and mimic the action. It works every time!
Gender Trap
Never say 'une truc'. Even if you're talking about a 'voiture' (feminine), the word 'truc' stays masculine.
