Introduction to the verb bouchonner
The English translation of the French verb bouchonner is “to brush,” as in to brush or clean with a brush. It is pronounced “boo-sho-nay.”

In everyday French, bouchonner is most often used in the L’impératif Présent tense, which is the command form of the verb. It is used to give instructions or orders, often in a friendly or casual way.
