trou
hole
The French word 'trou' is used in a similar way to the English word 'hole'. It can refer to a hollow or opening in a surface, such as a hole in the ground or a hole in a piece of fabric. It can also be used metaphorically to describe a difficult or unpleasant situation, as in the phrase 'se mettre dans un trou', which means 'to get oneself into a mess'.
