Introduction to the verb crachouiller
The English translation of the French verb crachouiller is “to spit or sputter.” It is pronounced as /kʁa.ʃu.je/ in its infinitive form.

- Tu eus crachouillé de dégoût en voyant l’araignée. (You had sputtered in disgust upon seeing the spider.)
- Ils eurent crachouillé leurs bonbons avant d’aller se coucher. (They had sputtered their candies before going to bed.)
