I'm watching the fifth season of Engrenages now, and in the middle of episode 7, one of the characters (Zach) says something that sounds like, "Moi, j'ai trois cent cinquante keus." It translates as, "I have 350 thousand (euros)," but I have no idea if keus is the proper spelling.
Can any of you clarify that for me? Thanks 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I have no idea what it could be. Could you say at what precise timing it is, so that
natives can listen to it? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Could it be "k euros" (ka euros)? k = thousand. Or maybe one could just read "k€" as "ke"? Edited by Ari on 08 February 2015 at 5:38pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thanks for the replies, everyone. That clears it up, tastyonions.
It was at about 22:40 in the version I'm watching. Zach is in a restaurant (Burger Street) and is trying to set up a deal to buy coke from a biker. Thanks again 1 person has voted this message useful |
