Introduction to the verb controuver
The English translation of the French verb controuver is “to come up with” or “to invent.” The infinitive form of this verb is pronounced “kon-trou-vay.”
The word controuver comes from the combination of the prefix “con-” (meaning “with” or “together”) and the verb “trouver” (meaning “to find”). It can be traced back to the Latin word “contra,” meaning “against,” and “invenire,” meaning “to come upon” or “to discover.”
In everyday French, controuver is most often used in the Futur Antérieur tense, which is formed by combining the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the future tense with the past participle of the main verb. It is used to talk about actions that will have been completed in the future.
