D'accord...OK

Ca marche...that works, that would be good

N'importe quoi...yeah, right! (not easy to translate, this is a very common spoken expression that can mean more or less anything that suggests 'you are talking a load of old rubbish' and more besides)

Je n'en sais rien...I haven't got a clue (often better than 'je ne sais pas', even better if you raise both hands, shrug and say 'je n'en sais rien, moi')

Je vous en prie...please (if telling someone to go through a door first or go in front of you in the queue, better than s'il vous plait)

Bien joué... well played, well done (but NOT for a steak well done)

Je n'y suis pour rien...its not my fault / I'm not to blame

Je m'en occupe...I'll look after it / take care of it (e.g. answer the door, pay the restaurant bill)

C'est quoi ce truc...What is this (lit: it is what, this thing)

Encore...another, again (a second coffee, for example, rather than 'un autre' which means 'an other' - a different one - rather than 'another')

C'est quoi ce cirque?...why all this silly behaviour? (my favourite!)

Je n'arrive pas à le croire...I can't believe it / I don't believe it
