does anyone know what it means?

Answer 1

Yep, "truc" is the correct spelling...it means "thing", a more casual way of saying it. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Quick answer: "thing"

Alternative ways of saying "truc" in French are: "chose", "machin", "bidule" or even "truc-machin-chose" (i'm not making this up).

The last three are usually used in a derogatory manner when talking about something; "truc" is often used in the same fashion: "C'est quoi ce truc?"

Answer 3

yes it's indeed spelled truc. it means stuff, thing

'J'ai un truc à faire' = 'I've got stuff to do'

'Donne moi ce truc' = 'give me that thing'
