Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb catéchiser
Introduction to the verb catéchiser
The English translation of the French verb catéchiser is “to catechize” or “to instruct in the principles of the Catholic faith.” In French, the infinitive form is pronounced as “ka-te-shee-zay.”
The word catéchiser comes from the Latin word “catechizare,” which means “to teach by word of mouth.” It entered the French language in the 14th century and was primarily used in a religious context to refer to the instruction of religious principles and beliefs.
In modern-day French, catéchiser is still used in a religious context but can also be used more broadly to mean “to teach” or “to educate.” In the Subjonctif Présent tense, it is used to express a wish, desire, or possibility.
Examples:
- Il faut que je catéchise mes enfants sur les valeurs de la famille. (I need to catechize my children on the values of family.)
- Je souhaite que tu catéchises les jeunes de notre paroisse. (I wish for you to catechize the youth in our parish.)
- Il se peut qu’elle aille catéchiser les enfants défavorisés dans un pays en voie de développement. (She might go to catechize underprivileged children in a developing country.)
