# I had a word find
after I finished my test. And the words were in English and you had to find them in French. I couldn't remember what rabbit was, and I thought rapitinui for some reason, so I started looking for that in the search. I never did find it. But I did find lapin.

# Rapiti is a transliteration of the English, rabbit.
being an introduced species and all.

Also we call the French tangata wiwi.. tangata = people, wiwi from "oui, oui".

# "the", plural definite article.
 
ng is a consonant, not dissimilar to that in English (i.e. singer) - though as in English it varies a lot with dialect.
