Passé Simple (Simple Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb fienter
Introduction to the verb fienter
The English translation of the French verb “fienter” is “to defecate.” The pronunciation of the infinitive form “fienter” is /fjɑ̃.te/.
“Fienter” is derived from the Old French word “fier” (to trust) and the suffix “-er” used to form verbs. In everyday French, the verb “fienter” is rarely used in the Passé Simple tense, as it is considered a formal and literary tense. Instead, the Passé Composé tense is commonly used to express past actions in spoken French.
However, if we consider the usage of “fienter” in the Passé Simple tense, here are three simple examples:
- Il fienta dans le jardin.
(He defecated in the garden.) - Les chiens fientèrent sur la pelouse.
(The dogs defecated on the lawn.) - Le cheval fienta devant la porte.
(The horse defecated in front of the door.)
Please note that the Passé Simple tense is primarily used in written French, especially in literature and formal writing, while the Passé Composé tense is more commonly used in spoken French to express past events.
