T'as le choix

(un) choix ('sho - ah') =
  • a choice. Can be between (entre) several things. E.g. tu as le choix entre une robe bleue ou rouge = you can chose between a blue dress and a red one. Tu n'as pas le choix = you have no choice. Avoir le choix dans la date = to have the choice of the date (warning: this one is a famous contrepèterie, that you can find explained here, and some further vocabulary from a previous FWotD)
  • an assortment, as in le choix est très limité ici = there's very little choice here
  • a selection, as in une selection d'œuvres = a selection of works
  • de choix = first-rate. E.g. les places de choix sont toutes reservées = the best seats are all reserverd
