Like every year, the Petit Robert dictionary welcomes new words for its 2025 edition, such as “tiktokeur” or even “baraki”. In total, 150 new words and expressions are making their debut in this new edition.
The Petit Robert 2025 dictionary welcomes several new words. It emphasizes the use of social networks and fashion phenomena, with the entry in the dictionary of “tiktoker” or “to have flow”. The first refers to people making videos on TikTok, while the second means having style. 150 new words and expressions are making their debut in Petit Robert 2025, such as “vocal”which has found a new meaning here, that of voice message.
The new words are a headache for the twenty or so people who work for Le Petit Robert. Suggestions from linguists, sometimes from users, and the arrival of artificial intelligence have facilitated their collection. French-speaking countries are another source of inspiration. So the word “déguédiner”which means “to hurry”or “baraki”which designates a person with inelegant manners, have found their audience.
