I never talked much to people that use a lot of expressions, and the usage of Spanish terms, like “nada” or “amigo”, as I could observe from the outside, felt inconsistent. And upon thinking on that, it got me curious, is it common to use such expressions or not?
That makes me wonder, since I’ve heard things like “Je ne sais pas” shortened to “je pas” do people shorten “je ne sais quoi” to “je quoi”?
Not that i’ve ever heard as a resident of Kansas. But “je ne sais quoi” doesn’t come up in my life often.
