Banter in French?
Hi guys,
Could someone tell me what the French equivalent of "banter" would be?
Thanks
PJ

That's what I saw before, but my French tutor(a native speaker)said that "badinage" is a very old fashioned way of saying it.
Did you ask your French tutor how they would say it? Mind you, the word banter is fairly rare in English as well.
Publié le 22 novembre 2017, not so old fashioned, but, indeed, very rare nowadays, a literary word.

« Dominique, son truc, c’est les maths. Alors pour les grands discours ou le badinage, il faudra repasser. Avec Hugo, ils se sont plutôt bien trouvés. Entre eux, pas de risque d’effusions, mais beaucoup de respect. »
Et au Québec : en novembre 2017, encore :
