Introduction to the verb bretailler
The English translation of the French verb bretailler is “to haggle” or “to negotiate.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “bruh-tay-yay.”
Bretailler comes from the Old French word “breteiller” which means “to beg.” It is derived from the word “brete” which means “beggar.” In modern French, bretailler is mostly used in a figurative sense to mean haggling or negotiating, rather than begging.
In everyday French, bretailler is used in the l’infinitif présent tense to express ongoing or future actions. Here are three examples of how it can be used:

-
Nous devons bretailler avec les autorités pour obtenir un permis de construire. (We have to negotiate with the authorities to get a building permit.)
In each of these examples, bretailler is used to indicate an ongoing or future action of haggling or negotiating. In English, the verb can also be translated as “to bargain” or “to higgle.”
