Kangoo Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 "troquer" is basically "to trade". While "échanger" (to swap) is most commonly used on a daily basis these days, troquer still is a well-anchored word in the French vocabulary.You will often come across it in classic French literature, and it isn't rare to hear people aged 40 and over include it in their sentences.In this specific case:Je troque trente trucs turcs contre treize textes tchèques.I trade thirty Turkish things against thirteen Czech texts.
