Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb empatter
Introduction to the verb empatter
The English translation of the French verb empatter is “to patch up” or “to mend.” It is pronounced as [ahm-pah-tey] in the infinitive form.
Empatter comes from the combination of “en” (meaning “in” or “into”) and “pâte” (meaning “paste” or “dough”). The word originated in the 16th century and was initially used in the context of baking or making dough. Over time, it evolved to also mean “to mend” or “to repair.”
In everyday French, empatter is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense to express a hypothetical action or event in the past. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” conjugated in the Conditionnel Présent, followed by the past participle of empatter (which is “empatté”).
