Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb baller
Introduction to the verb baller
The English translation of the French verb “baller” is “to dance” or “to ball” in the slang sense of the word. The infinitive form is pronounced as “bah-leh”.
The word “baller” is derived from the French word “balle”, which means “ball” and the suffix “-er” which is used to form verbs. It originated in the French hip-hop culture in the 1990s, where it was used to describe someone who is skilled in dancing, especially in a flashy and impressive way.
In everyday French, “baller” is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which is used to express actions that would have happened in the past under different circumstances. This tense is formed by using the conditional auxiliary verb “aurais” or “serais” followed by the past participle of the main verb.
