’sure thing my guy’ colloquial french expression

[jaunty pawn]

"mon mec" is strictly "my boyfriend"
"mon gars" is the colloquial term you're thinking of
There are surely other things you can say depending on where you are, context, your relationship to the person etc

Idk if I've ever heard "mon gros"

Just "gros" typically

But that is one way, yes

[fiery grove]

Is "mon mec" pronounced the way I expect it? Seems a bit difficult to distinguish n-m

[jaunty pawn]

It's a nasal

[fiery grove]

So does the n sorta evaporate?

[jaunty pawn]

I'm not sure what you expect it to be pronounced as

It follows french pronunciation rules

[fiery grove]

K. So "sure thing my guy" => "bien sûr mon gars"

[jaunty pawn]

• on/om
• en/an/em/am
• in/im
• un/um

These are the 4 main nasals of french (france specifically almost always merges "in" and "un" but this doesn't really happen elsewhere)
The n/m are there to indicate it's a nasal. There can be some cases where it's pronounced (such as in a liaison) but it gets a bit complicated at that point. You need the n/m there to indicate a nasal, they're relevant to the pronunciation but not usually pronounced how you'd expect in english

[jaunty pawn]

Yeah that works!
