About the French accent

I was watching French Kiss with Kevin Kline and Meg Ryan. In the movie, Kline plays a Frenchman and in some scenes instead of pronouncing oui as “wee” he seems to be saying “uh-wae.”

Is that a regional pronunciation from somewhere in France?

It’s “ouais” and it’s the French “yeah”.

I’d need to hear him to confirm it but MoonMoon is probably right.

Ah! OK, thanks MoonMoon and Les Espaces Du Sommeil.
