In most countries there is a word we use to make people smile before the a camera lens. In French we say "Marmoset" (little monkey).

Nikon

The company has tested 26 different phrases in Europe to find the best smile when getting their picture taken. Under the supervision of a linguist, were told to buy these models and then we analyzed the pictures from this experience.

It turns out that the French word "marmoset" gives the best smile. In second place is the word "famiglia" ("family") of Italy, followed by "patata" (potato) and the English "Marmolada" ("marmalade") Polish. Why? It seems that the word "marmoset" will put the tongue behind the teeth, which helps produce the most beautiful smiles, and therefore more beautiful pictures.

It's a story that makes us smile and we wonder if we took into account our "Lluís" Catalan (Louis).

For now, forget the "cheese" British and say "marmoset." You are more beautiful in the pictures.
