Introduction to the verb courcailler
The English translation of the French verb “courcailler” is “to squabble” or “to bicker.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “koor-kay-yay.”
The verb “courcailler” originated from the Old French word “corcail,” meaning “quarrel” or “discord.” It is commonly used in everyday French in the Passé Simple (Simple Past) tense, which is primarily found in written literature and formal contexts.
