My child's favourite tv character often exclaims a word that sounds like "plee-as-tique". Meaning?
Thanks, Mathieu...It's definitely not "fantastique". I've heard it a million times and am starting to wonder if it's a made-up catch phrase...either that or I am losing my mind! :PThis is the show on youtube. It's a little guy who has adventures in a pop-up book. Often to solve problems, his friend cuts/creates a solution. It's my daughter's favourite. If anyone has the time and would like to make my day...I'd love the lyrics to the intro (in French) so I could sing along with my daughter as well! Thanks! http://youtu.be/3y3_tDoVCcI

Answer

I can't watch this video in my country, but I know that he says "pop-tastic" in English a made-up word so it's likely to be the same concept in French. 
"Plier" in French means "to fold" (je plie, tu plies, il plie...) , so if you hear [plee] it's probably that verb. Makes sences as pop-ups folds. ("déplier" is to unfold). The rest of the word is probably the word "fanstastique" that has been troncated and merged.

Answer

Maybe you could tell us more about the character and the context??

Answer

Fantastique!?. It is the only word I can figure out

Answer

That's what it kind of sounds like...but it seems to be more of an exclamation of accomplishment. He often says it after something goes well in the show or a problem is solved.
