Car tout dépend de la langue/dialecte qu'utilise ton tsigane et de ses origines...Ils ne parlent pas tous le Romani. Voilà pourquoi j'ai opté pour un terme plus générique. ;o)

gadjo


Explanation:
I think "gadjo" is the right equivalent... I know this expression even in my mother tongue and I know that gypsies call "us", other people like that... but I also found term "gadji" and I'm not sure whether it is the same or for plural form or for what...
