Introduction to the verb chamailler
The English translation of the French verb chamailler is “to bicker” or “to squabble”. The infinitive form is pronounced as “sha-may-yay”.

Example 2: Ne vous chamailler pas devant les autres. (Don’t squabble in front of others.)
Example 3: Chamaillons-nous maintenant et réglons cette dispute. (Let’s bicker now and settle this argument.)
