Yes I’m talking about the sound a frog makes, just wondering if it actually has a translation, or if it’s the same in French as it is in English, and what it is in French if it does have a translation. Thanks!

I don`t think there`s a translation , Olga ………….
Any Frenchmen I`ve ever talked to just say “Ribbit” !
It was Charles De Gaulle that made “Ribbit” an official French word . It`s supposed to mean “we surrender” , or something similar !
