Quoi

Malians say quoi like it's going out of style. I guess it's the equivalent of "okay" "right" "like" or any other superfluous words in English we add to the end of things.

Yesterday I made myself a personal challenge of appropriately inserting the word "quoi" at the end of three sentences during a conversation. The way I tested it was whether or not my friend looked at my funny after I said it and if he didn't, I stopped whatever I was saying to cheer, point out my victory, and count it. My winning phrase was "T'as envie d'encore du the quoi".
