Introduction to the verb chouraver
The English translation of the French verb chouraver is “to steal” or “to nick”. It is pronounced “shoo-ra-veh” in the infinitive form.
The word chouraver comes from the French slang word “chourer” which means “to steal” and the Arabic word “shorub” which means “to take”. It is mostly used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Présent tense, which is used to express doubt, possibility, or uncertainty.
Examples of its usage in this tense are:
- Il faut que je le chourave avant qu’il ne le remarque. (I have to steal it before he notices it.)
- Je veux que tu ne chouraves plus jamais. (I want you to never steal again.)
- Il est possible qu’il chourave encore une fois avant d’être attrapé. (It’s possible that he’ll steal again before getting caught.)
In all three examples, the Subjonctif Présent tense is used to express doubt or possibility. In the first example, there is doubt whether the person will be able to steal before being noticed. In the second example, there is doubt whether the person will stop stealing. In the third example, there is possibility that the person will steal again.
