뜻
To prepare luggage for a trip.
문화적 배경
The 'départ en vacances' is a major cultural event. Radio stations provide constant updates on 'bouchons' (traffic jams) caused by millions of people who have just finished 'faisant leurs valises'. While 'faire ses valises' is used, you might also hear 'pacter son linge' (to pack one's clothes) in very informal settings, though it's considered quite colloquial. Usage is identical to France, but the Belgian 'vacances annuelles' are equally sacred, making this a high-frequency phrase in summer. In countries like Morocco or Tunisia, 'faire les valises' often carries the weight of visiting family abroad (the diaspora returning for summer).
Use Possessives
It sounds more natural to say 'Je fais mes valises' than 'Je fais les valises' when talking about your own stuff.
Gender Alert
Always remember 'valise' is feminine. 'Ma valise', not 'mon valise'.
