Tiens, pronounced "tyeh(n)," is a classic informal expression that does a lot of jobs in the French lexicon, from the polite command "Here, take this" to the interjections "Hey," "Listen," "Look," and more. In English, literally, it means "hold," but its usage goes far beyond that.
The expression tiens may be short, but it's long on meaning and extremely common in spoken French. Tiens is the imperative form of the verb tenir, which means "to hold." The literal meaning of the conjugation tiens, and its vous-form tenez, is simply the command "Hold," as when you hand something to another person and ask that person to hold it for you. For example:
Tiens, j'ai besoin des deux mains pour conduire. Here [take this], I need both hands to drive.
You can also use the imperative tiens when giving someone a gift or responding to a request:
Tiens, je t'ai acheté des fleurs. Here, I bought you some flowers.
Tu me prêtes ton appareil photo? Alors, tiens. Can I borrow your camera? Here you go.
But tiens and tenez are even more commonly used as interjections or fillers, with essentially three different meanings:
Two tiens said in quick succession is an expression that suggests surprise or something unexpected. Tiens, tiens means "well, well;" "oh, my;" "how about that;" or "tsk, tsk."
Tiens, tiens, tu es enfin arrivé. Well, well, you're finally here.
Homographs are two or more words that have identical spellings but different meanings, derivations, or pronunciations. Such false matches can cause confusion, so beware of these.
In the case of tiens, there are two other words with the identical spelling of our expression that mean completely different things.
