Thoooom ! (:

"Coucher" and "dormir" have related but different meanings in French.

If we want to be precise, here's the explanation :
-> Dormir = to sleep.
It refers to the act of sleeping itself.
Example : "Je dors" = "I'm sleeping".

-> Coucher = to go to bed, to lie down.
It refers to the action of getting ready for bed or lying down to sleep.
Example: "Je vais me coucher" = "I am going to bed".

The literal translation would be :
"I am going to put myself to bed."
The real meaning is :
"I am going to bed."

Also the verb is "se coucher", it's a reflexive verb.

[ornate compass]

So some verbs are always reflexive? And some are always not? And some are mixed?

[dusk bough]

The verb in that context is "se coucher" but the verb "coucher" exists as well, and means "to lay smth down"
