Introduction to the verb clochardiser
The English translation of the French verb clochardiser is “to make someone become a tramp” or “to make someone live like a tramp.” It is pronounced “kloh-shar-dee-zay” in the infinitive form.
The word clochardiser is derived from the noun clochard, which means “tramp” or “vagrant.” It is a combination of the word cloche, which means “bell,” and the suffix -ard, which is often used to denote a negative or pejorative connotation. The use of the word cloche in this context refers to the common stereotype of homeless people ringing a bell to ask for money.
In everyday French, clochardiser is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is a literary tense used to describe past events that occurred before another past event. It is formed by conjugating the auxiliary verb avoir or être in the Passé Simple tense and adding the past participle of the main verb.
