looking for three-letter French words whose English equivalents are also three letters...?

One example: French "oui" and English "yes."

Can you think of any more pairs like this? The French words need to be known to literate Americans.

    "ten" and "dix"

    "you" and "toi"

    ...although it depends on the use of you... it could also be translated as "tu": "you breathe" = "tu respire", but "it's for you" = "c'est pour toi"
