Introduction to the verb clabauder
The English translation of the French verb clabauder is “to gossip” or “to chatter.” The infinitive form of clabauder is pronounced “kla-bow-deh.”
Clabauder is derived from the old French word “clabaud,” which means a noisy or chattering person. It is believed to have originated from the Latin word “gabbulus,” meaning “chatterer.” Clabauder is most often used in everyday French in the present tense, l’infinitif présent, to express the ongoing or habitual action of gossiping or chattering.

- Les femmes du village aiment se réunir pour clabauder sur leurs voisins. (The women in the village like to get together and gossip about their neighbors.)
- Mon frère est un vrai claboteur, il ne peut pas s’empêcher de tout raconter. (My brother is a real gossip, he can’t help but tell everything.)
In these examples, clabauder is used to describe the act of gossiping or chatting, and it is conjugated in the present tense to indicate that it is an ongoing or habitual action. The infinitive form, clabauder, is used after the auxiliary verb, such as “aiment,” “peuvent,” and “est,” to form the present tense.
