Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb crétiniser
Introduction to the verb crétiniser
The English translation of the French verb crétiniser is “to make stupid” or “to turn into an idiot.” It is pronounced as “kreh-tee-nee-zay” in its infinitive form.
The word crétiniser comes from the French word “crétin,” which is derived from the Latin word “christianus,” meaning “Christian.” In the 18th and 19th centuries, the term “crétin” was used to describe someone who was mentally and physically disabled, and was often associated with Christian charity and compassion. However, over time, the word took on a more derogatory meaning, referring to someone who is foolish or unintelligent.
In everyday French, crétiniser is most often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which is a literary tense used to express a wish, doubt, or hypothetical situation in the past. It is formed by using the subjunctive form of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Here are three simple examples of how crétiniser can be used in the Subjonctif Passé tense:
- J’aurais aimé qu’il ne m’ait pas crétinisé avec ses fausses informations. (I wish he hadn’t made me stupid with his false information.)
