How to Say “Oh Cool” in French

ah cool
The English phrase 'oh cool' can be expressed in French as ah cool.

Is it said differently in some regions?

In France, the word Génialissime is used in informal conversations when you want to convey an exceptional level of enthusiasm.

Did you know?

  • In Quebec, the word écoeurant, which usually means 'disgusting', is frequently used ironically to mean 'cool' or 'amazing'.
  • If you want to sound even more modern or use 'slang' from the suburbs, you might hear 'C'est lourd' which literally translates to 'It is heavy'. In certain contexts, this is used to mean something is 'cool' or 'impressive'.
  • In many French-speaking regions outside of France, such as Quebec, you are much more likely to hear 'C'est l'fun' or 'C'est écoeurant' (the latter used ironically to mean 'cool') instead of the English loanword cool.

Examples in context

  • C'est génial ! Je suis vraiment impatiente !
    That's awesome! I'm really excited!
  • Ah cool, j'adore ce film.
    Oh cool, I love this movie.
  • Ah cool, on peut y aller.
    Oh cool, we can go.
  • Ah cool, c'est une bonne idée.
    Oh cool, that's a good idea.
