Truc: (pronounced
trook) meaning whatchamacallit, doodad, whats-his/her-name, trick, knack, or
just “thing” in general.
Ex: If you saw a poster advertising la varappe, and
you wanted to know what varappe was,
you might ask your friend “qu’est-ce que c’est, ce truc-la?”
(La varappe is
rock climbing, by the way)
In my French classes, we always learned “chose” as the French equivalent of
“thing.” Truc is much more popular,
although less formal.
