Internet terms in French
This week’s Canadian French Word of the Week (podcast here) is actually several words, all Internet-related.
- Naviguer sur/dans Internet: To surf the Web
- Fureteur: Browser
- Courriel: Email (made up of a cross between courrier, mail, and électronique, electronic)
- Pourriel: Spam (a portmanteau of poubelle, garbage can, and courriel, email)
- Clavarder: To chat (online)
- Bavarder: To chat (anywhere, not just online)
The podcast is a repeat which predates Twitter, so I’m wondering what the French word is for “tweet“?
