Meaning and local context
This playful Quebec expression can confirm that a plan is settled or that a situation is going well. Frequency varies by generation and speaker.
Regional expressions depend on relationship, setting, tone, and shared local knowledge. Treat Tiguidou as context-dependent language rather than a perfect one-word substitute.
Example in conversation
On se retrouve à huit heures? Tiguidou.
Plain meaning: We meet at eight? Perfect, all set.
Where you may hear it
You may hear this expression in local conversation, homes, transport, food ordering, workplaces, neighbourhood talk, social plans, or local media. Frequency varies by age, community, and situation.
Neutral alternative
Use parfait, d’accord, or tout va bien in neutral French. Neutral wording helps when the listener is unfamiliar with the regional term or when precision matters more than local flavour.

How to remember it
Connect the expression with the example and its central idea: All good, fine, settled, or working properly. Listen to local speakers before copying it, and avoid turning regional language into a performance.
