Definition: market crash
Qui vient en premier, le krach immobilier ou le krach boursier ? - Which came first, the real estate market crash or the stock market crash?
Note: At first I assumed krach was a Frenchification of "crash" and would be pronounced similarly, since ch in French is normally pronounced like sh in English. A bit of research revealed that krach is in fact derived from the German word "Krach," hence the unusual French pronunciation of ch as k.
