Introduction to the verb craboter
The English translation of the French verb craboter is “to plane” or “to shave” in woodworking. The infinitive form of the verb is pronounced “kra-boh-teh”.
The word craboter comes from the old French word “carboter” which means to cut or carve, and is derived from the Latin word “carpentum” meaning “cart”. It is most often used in everyday French in the Futur Proche tense, which is used to describe actions that will happen in the near future.
Examples:

- Ils vont craboter le bois pour construire une étagère. (They are going to shave the wood to build a shelf.)
- Nous allons craboter les portes pour qu’elles s’adaptent. (We are going to plane the doors so they fit.)
In these examples, the verb craboter is used with the auxiliary verb “aller” (to go) to form the Futur Proche tense. This tense is formed by conjugating “aller” in the present tense and adding the infinitive form of the verb after it.
