      YAY Gigi !!

      hey — what do the Fr. Canadyuns or the Outrageux Frawnsche say a goat says???
      Y’know, how the “Mericun version of a rooster’s call is “cock-a-doodle-doo” but the Japonais say s’thing very different?

      I’ve forgotten, Gigi, whether you’re from the Frozen Northside or from la belle France itself?

      avec le paix,

      • Gigi says:

        I’m from the luckely not yet frozen North. And a rooster’s call is cocorico but a goat (une chèvre) call is a bêlement (baa baa)

        • Fird Birfle says:

          merci bien!! I’m so appreciative of your furthering the Frawnsche that I got in H.S.
          (grammar school) and college. Sometimes the items/ vocab I’m asking about ,
          tends to not be listed, in Basic French/ English Dictionaries …. ;)
