Introduction to the verb autoriser
The English translation of the French verb autoriser is “to authorize” or “to allow.” It is pronounced as “oh-tor-ee-zay” in its infinitive form.
The verb autoriser comes from the Latin word “auctorizare,” meaning “to give authority or permission.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the Passé Composé tense, which is the equivalent of the present perfect tense in English. This tense is used to talk about actions that were completed in the past and have a connection to the present.
Example 1: J’ai autorisé mon frère à utiliser ma voiture. (I authorized my brother to use my car.)
Example 2: Elle a autorisé ses enfants à aller jouer au parc. (She allowed her children to go play at the park.)
Example 3: Nous avons autorisé le chien à dormir sur le canapé. (We allowed the dog to sleep on the couch.)
In all of these examples, the action of authorizing or allowing took place in the past and has an impact on the present. The verb autoriser is commonly used in everyday conversations when giving permission or granting authority, whether it is for people, pets, or objects.
