Usage Note

Rappliquer is informal and means to arrive or show up somewhere, often unexpectedly or in a rush — ils ont tous rappliqué chez moi means 'they all turned up at my place'. It has no direct formal equivalent; arriver or se présenter would replace it in standard French. It is typical of spoken, informal French.

Examples

"Tout le monde a rappliqué à la fête."

Natural Translation
