Introduction to the verb cherrer
The English translation of the French verb cherrer is “to lock.” It is pronounced “shuh-reh” in its infinitive form.
Cherrer comes from the Old French word “cerrer,” meaning “to shut” or “to close.” It is most commonly used in everyday French in the Passé Composé tense to indicate an action that has been completed in the past.
