Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.
Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.
reddit explanation is good
it doesn't have a proper meaning as it's used in so many ways
it may have a precise meaning in arabic but idk
(because it comes from arabic and north african french if you didn't knlw)
« Wesh » is indeed a word with multiple meanings.
The two main senses are :
- a salutation (compare « yo », « salut ») : « Wesh bien ou quoi ? » → « Yo what's up ? » (this is extremely colloquial and slangy)
- an expression of surprise or an exclamation (compare some curse words, or the word 'what') : « Wesh t'es sérieux là ? » → « Are you [intensifier] serious ? » ; « Mais wesh ?? » → « Wtf ?? » ; « Weeeeesh ?! » → « Oh my god ?! »
But it can be used to emphasize in pretty much every way, it depends on the context and the intonation.
Anyway it's an extremely slangy word that you won't encounter everywhere, and not really in long sentences since it's mainly an exclamation :)
It originally means 'quoi', 'qu'est-ce que' in Arabic according to https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/wesh :)
