I'm no French expert, but do have access to various French dictionaries. None of them contains the word you ask about, nor does it appear anywhere on Google. Are you sure of the spelling, given that - being in a postcard - it's presumably handwritten? How about giving us the whole sentence?
It could, of course, be obscene slang, I suppose, in which case its absence from the usual sources might not be so hard to explain!
I am french , and have never heard of it ! Are you sure the spelling is correct ?

Well, it may have something to do with teddy bears - does that help?

Sorry, no ! Still not.

Sure it's not N�n�s ? ( boobs ) Or nanas ? ( girls, chicks ), or even Nanard ( short for Bernard ) ?

I'm puzzled here!

She's back tomorrow  - I will let you know!
teddy bear is something like nounours, so that's probably it, but I've never been sure of the spelling
yep, checked in Collins, nounours it is for teddy bear. (pronounced something like noo-noo-erss)
Question Author
