Coin, nm : corner, around here, these parts.

The French word « coin » looks exactly the same as the English word “coin.”

The most common meaning of “coin” in English is “a piece of metal money,” including gold, nickel and copper.

In French, « coin » means corner, and « dans le coin » means “in the immediate neighborhood.” Also, « coin-coin » is the sound a French duck makes, rather than “quack quack.”

The pharmacy is at the corner of the street.

Je ne suis pas du coin.
