Usage

Marcher is extremely common and versatile. In informal speech, "ça marche" (literally "it walks") means "OK" or "that works for me." The reflexive form "se marcher dessus" means to step on each other; avoid confusing it with the noun "la marche" (walking, a step, or a market in some contexts).
