A

Allô ! Allô ! Allô ! = Hello hello hello.

In Go-Busters, Enter says it to greet someone. Actually, this is used when answering the phone. It's also used to ask if someone is listening.

À plus = See ya

Short for À plus tard (See you later).

Adieu = Farewell

Allez = Go ahead

Amour = Love

Arrêtez = Stop

Au revoir = Goodbye

B

Bon bon bon = Well well well

Bonjour = Hello

Bonne chance = Good luck

Bonsoir = Good evening

Bon voyage = Have a nice trip.

C

Ça va/ça va = How are you?/Fine.

This word can be used as both a question and an answer. In Go-Busters, Enter uses it as a question when talking to the Go-Busters, asking how they are.

Comment allez-vous, Madame ? = How are you, Mrs.?

More formal way to ask if someone is fine.

C'est bon = It's good

C'est ça = That's it

Means You're right or This is right

C'est délicieux= It's delicious

C'est dommage = That's a pity

Used to express regret for a situation which could have turned better.

C'est si bon = It's so good

Can be used in French for various things. It's more commonly used when eating delicious food and commenting on it.

C'est la vie = It's life

D

d'acc = all right, OK

This is short for "d'accord", it's commonly used in speech, more specifically teenager and the lot.

Détruire = Destroy

E

Et Cetera= Etc.

F

Félicitations = Congratulations

Festin = Feast

Usually about a feast with a lot of food, where eating is the main point.

J

Je comprends = I understand.

Je suis désolé = I'm sorry

This is a more formal way than Pardon of saying sorry in French.

Je vois = I see

Usually used to mean I understand.

Je t'aime = I love you.

Joyeux Noël=Merry Christmas

L

La fin = The end

La mystère = The mystery

It is possible that he means "Quel mystère/What a mystery". It should be "Le mystère", though.

M

Mademoiselle = Miss

Like in many other languages that make the distinction, this is to refer to an unmarried woman. Due to a protest from Feminist Organisations in France, this word has been abolished and completely removed from official documents. People no longer need to distinct between "Mademoiselle" and "Madame" (English equivalent: Miss and Mrs respectively), although some people still do.

Magnifique = Wonderful

Ma puce = My flea

This is the literal translation of the word, in truth this is actually an affectionate term, like "Honey" or "Sweetheart" in English. It's used when you are very close friends to someone, or for children, as they tend to be sweet and small.

Majesté = Majesty

Merci = Thank you

Monsieurs = misters.

Although Enter pronounces it like that, this is actually a mistake of his part. The word is derived from "monsieur", which in turn comes from "mon seigneur", meaning "my lord". The correct plural form is "messieurs", which comes from "mes seigneurs". This is a common mistake non-native French speakers make, because they have a lack of knowledge in grammar and vocabulary.

Mon Dieu = My God

Mon pauvre = My poor

When having pity for someone. Like in My poor little thing.

N

Non non non = No no no

Nouveau = New

O

Oui = Yes

P

Pardon, Mademoiselle = Sorry, Miss

Parfait = Perfect

Passionnant = fascinating, exciting

Pourquoi= Why?

Q

Qui êtes-vous ? = Who are you?

S

Salut = Hi or Bye

Can be used to say either hello or goodbye, according to the context. Quite informal.

S'il vous plaît = Please

T

Très bien = very good

Triste = Sad

U

Un Deux Trois = One two three

V

W

X

Y

Z

Zut ! = Damn!
