What does “ça vous botte” mean in French?
Ça vous botte ? is the casual French way to ask 'Are you into it?' or 'Does that sound good?'. The verb botter literally means 'to kick,' but in this idiom it means to appeal. Julie Andrieu opens the trailer with the exact pitch: « Partir en voyage avec Julie Andrieu, ça vous botte ? ».
Use ça me botte to accept, or ça ne me botte pas to turn it down. It sits next to ça te dit ? but feels a touch more playful. You’ll catch it from friends pitching plans, hosts welcoming guests, and French magazines teasing food or travel features.
