Douche in French

Noun form:

1. une douche meaning "a shower". Most often used with the verb prendre (to take).

Example:

Present:

  • I take a shower. Je prends une douche.
  • You are taking a shower. Tu prends une douche.
  • He is taking a shower. Il prend une douche.

2. Also, douches means "shower room" or "showers".

3. une douche can also mean a "let-down", "bummer", or "ticking-off"

Verb form: Se doucher meaning "to take a shower". Yes, it's the same translation as prendre une douche, except this is a pronominal verb.

Examples:

Present:

  • I take a shower. Je me douche.
  • You are taking a shower. Tu te douches.
  • He is taking a shower. Il se douche.

Also, doucher means "to shower". It is conjugated the same way as se doucher in the present, except the "me, te, se...", etc. must be taken out. Doucher, however, is not a pronominal verb.
