Yo / hey — a greeting, or a "what?"
A banlieue greeting that spread through French rap into general youth slang. "Wesh, ça va?" is a very casual hello. Said sharply it can be confrontational.
From Algerian Arabic "wešnu" / "wāš", meaning what.
Strongly marked. Great with friends your age, badly out of place almost anywhere else.
Reading a definition isn't the same as saying it to someone. Lingo Kaiava is a voice tutor set to French — it uses wesh the way locals do, corrects you in the moment, and never "fixes" the way real people actually talk into textbook French.
