Here are some examples of words used in the African French variety spoken in Abidjan (the spelling used here was made up on the day)
- une go is a slang word meaning a girl or a girlfriend. It is a loanword either from the Mandinka language or from English ("girl").
- un maquis is a colloquial word meaning a street-side eating joint, a working-class restaurant serving African food. This word exists in standard French too but its meaning is "maquis shrubland", and by extension "guerilla", see Maquis (World War II). It is not known exactly how this word came to mean street-side restaurant in Cote d'Ivoire.
- un bra-môgô is a slang word meaning a bloke or a dude. It is a loanword from the Mandika language.
