Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb latter
Introduction to the verb latter
The English translation of the French verb “latter” is “to choose.” The infinitive form of the verb is pronounced “lah-ter.”
The origin of “latter” can be traced back to the Latin word “eligo,” meaning “to choose.” It entered the French language in the 12th century and has been used in various contexts ever since.
In everyday French, “latter” is most often used in the Subjonctif Présent tense, which expresses a desire, wish, or doubt. It is commonly used in phrases such as “Il faut que je latter” (I must choose), “Je souhaite que tu latter” (I wish you would choose), or “Je doute qu’il latter” (I doubt he will choose).
Here are three simple examples of “latter” in the Subjonctif Présent tense, with their respective English translations:
-
Il est important que tu latter une option dès maintenant. (It is important that you choose an option right now.)
-
Je préfère que nous latter ensemble. (I prefer that we choose together.)
-
Il est possible que je latter un autre chemin dans la vie. (It is possible that I will choose another path in life.)
