How do you say shopping in French?

Question

How do you say shopping in French?

Answer 1

@jenfwed : magasiner is a french word... from the canadian province Quebec. It's not used in France and shopping is not used in Quebec. Strange isn't it ?

Answer 2

Either faire des courses (shopping for grocery for example)

or faire du shopping (going to browse for clothes, bags, shoes, decorating the house...)

Answer 3

According to my French professor, there are three basically interchangeable ways to say it:  faire des achats, faire des courses, or faire du shopping.

Answer 4

there's not a word for "shopping"

you would just say shopping

Answer 5

faire des achats - shopping

faire des courses - running errands (i.e. grocery shopping)

and I have also seen the word magasiner - which would be more slang - a regular -er verb, but I'm not sure how much it is used.
