Conditionnel Présent (Conditional Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb embouteiller
Introduction to the verb embouteiller
The English translation of the French verb embouteiller is “to bottle” or “to bottle up.” It is pronounced as ahm-boo-tay-yay.
The word embouteiller comes from the combination of “en” (in) and “bouteille” (bottle), and the suffix “-er,” which is commonly used to form verbs in French. It is most often used in everyday French in the Conditionnel Présent tense, which expresses a future action that is dependent on a certain condition.
Here are three examples of its usage in this tense, along with their English translations:
- Si nous avions plus de bouteilles, nous embouteillerions plus de vin. (If we had more bottles, we would bottle more wine.)
- Je te promets que j’embouteillerais tes émotions si tu me le demandais. (I promise I would bottle up your emotions if you asked me.)
- Si le temps se prête à la cueillette, nous embouteillerions nos propres confitures. (If the weather is suitable for picking, we would bottle our own jams.)
In these examples, the Conditionnel Présent tense is used to express a future action that is dependent on certain conditions, such as having enough bottles or suitable weather. It can also be used to express a hypothetical or polite request, such as in the second example.
