Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb brusquer
Introduction to the verb brusquer
The English translation of the French verb brusquer is “to rush” or “to be abrupt.” The infinitive form of brusquer is pronounced “broo-skay.”
The word brusquer comes from the Italian word “bruscare,” which means “to roast over coals.” It entered the French language in the 16th century and originally meant “to cook quickly over high heat.” Over time, it evolved to also mean “to act in a rough or hurried manner.”
In everyday French, brusquer is often used in the Conditionnel Passé (conditional past) tense to express a hypothetical action that would have happened in the past if certain conditions had been met. It is commonly used in conversations and informal writing.
Three simple examples of brusquer in the Conditionnel Passé tense are:
- Si j’avais su que tu étais malade, je ne t’aurais pas brusqué comme ça. (If I had known you were sick, I wouldn’t have rushed you like that.)
- Elle m’aurait brusqué si elle avait su que j’étais en retard. (She would have been abrupt with me if she had known I was late.)
- On aurait pu éviter cette dispute si tu ne m’avais pas brusqué hier soir. (We could have avoided this argument if you hadn’t been so abrupt with me last night.)
In these examples, the Conditionnel Passé tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” (to have) or “être” (to be) in the Conditionnel Présent tense, followed by the past participle of brusquer (brusqué).
English translations of these sentences would be:
- If I had known you were sick, I wouldn’t have rushed you like that.
- She would have been abrupt with me if she had known I was late.
- We could have avoided this argument if you hadn’t been so abrupt with me last night.
