Mezanmi is an expression used to show suprise. It is used in the same way you would say, "Oh my goodness"! or "Oh my God!" when you are suprised.
 
Literally, it means my friends.Ask me anything

Can you please define the expressions 'mezanmi' and 'amoushe?' Not sure of the correct spelling. thanks!

Mezanmi! is an interjection uttered when you are surprised, scared or shocked. It is synonymous with oh dear!, Oh my God!, oh no!. It may be used to convey a range of emotions.
Examples:
1. you just found out that a good friend had suddenly died, you are shocked and say, "Mezanmi!"
2. You're walking in the woods and come upon a poisonous snake, you'd say, "Mezanmi!" and just split.
3. Your child just spilled chocolate syrup on your expensive white carpet, you'd say, "Mezanmi!"
_______________
Mezanmi also means, "my friends".
You come up onto a group of people that you know. You could say, "Bonjou mezanmi!" (Hello friends).


If speaking publicly, you could start your speech with, "Mezanmi,..." meaning, (my fellow people,...)
________________
Ah monchè - is synonymous with 'come on, man!'  It conveys a persuasive emotion.
