Usage Note

Réplique has two quite distinct senses: a sharp retort in conversation, and an exact copy or replica of an artwork. In theatre it also means a cue or an actor's line — donner la réplique à quelqu'un means 'to act opposite someone'. The verb form is répliquer ('to reply' or 'to replicate').

Examples
