siuuu
siuuu is the French way to say siuuu.
Did you know?
- While 'si' means 'yes' in French, 'siuuu' is not a way to say 'yes' more emphatically. Using it to mean 'yes' would likely lead to confusion, as it is a purely performative exclamation.
- Despite being used in French-speaking regions, siuuu is not an indigenous French word but an onomatopoeic exclamation popularized by the Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. It represents a rhythmic grunt of celebration used during his trademark goal celebration.
- In French-speaking football clubs, the phrase can be used ironically to mock a player's ego. This adds a layer of sarcasm that isn't present in its original celebratory context.
Examples in context
- Il a crié siuuu après son but.He shouted siuuu after his goal.
