French words (fait accompli, coup d'etat, connoisseur, etc...)

[SkiIucK]

Greetings,

How often do you use French words in your daily speech? For example, "fait accompli", "coup d'etat", "connoisseur", etc.

Thanks.

[Mister Micawber]

Hard to say. Perhaps twice or thrice a week

About 60 percent of the English vocabulary is originally French. If by "French words" you mean any word of French origin, then it's impossible to speak English for even an entire minute without using any. If you mean multi-word French expressions that have not been translated into English, it's very hard to gauge how often someone uses them, and a lot will depend on the person's level of education.

Yes, I am referring to the multi-word French expressions that have not been translated into English, such as the ones above.

Many thanks to both of you.
