- Quoi
Put this at the end of any statement.
I'm a bit tired, quoi.
It's not my thing, quoi.
It's a nice day, quoi.
She's nice, quoi. - Allez.
I reckon this can more or less be translated as 'right.' It literally means 'go,' which is why I find it so amusing when I hear people say 'allez, viens' to their kids. (Go, come here... or, rather, 'right/come on/let's go, come here'). Another multi-purpose word.
Finishing a conversation with someone: Allez, I've got to go.
Announcing a decision: Allez, what we'll do is...
Giving instructions to do someone: Allez, you set up the tables.
Getting attention: Allez, let's start again.
