Verb conjugation

accoiser

to calm down, to quiet down

Usage

Accoiser is an old French verb meaning "to calm, to quiet down" — it has essentially disappeared from everyday Metropolitan French but survives in Québécois French and some western dialects (accoiser un enfant qui pleure). Standard French today uses calmer or apaiser instead.

Examples

Il a fallu du temps pour accoiser les esprits. — It took a while to calm things down.
Elle essayait d'accoiser le bébé qui pleurait. — She was trying to soothe the crying baby.
Le vent a fini par s'accoiser. — The wind finally died down.

Common mistake

This is a rare/archaic verb a learner is unlikely to need actively — recognize it in older texts or Québécois speech, but reach for calmer or apaiser in standard modern French.
