Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb copiner
Introduction to the verb copiner
The English translation of the French verb copiner is “to hang out with” or “to be friends with.” The infinitive form of the verb is pronounced “koh-pea-nay.”
The word “copiner” comes from the French noun “copain,” meaning friend, and the suffix “-er,” which is used to form verbs in French. It is most often used in everyday French in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which is formed with the conditional tense of the auxiliary verb “avoir” and the past participle of the verb “copiner.”
Three simple examples of its usage in the Conditionnel Passé tense are:
- J’aurais copiné avec elle si j’avais eu plus de temps. (I would have hung out with her if I had had more time.)
- Tu aurais copiné avec nous si tu avais été invité. (You would have been friends with us if you had been invited.)
- Ils auraient copiné ensemble si elles s’étaient rencontrées plus tôt. (They would have hung out together if they had met earlier.)
These sentences show the use of the verb copiner in the conditional tense to express a hypothetical or unreal situation in the past. The verb is often used in this tense to talk about past events that did not actually happen, but could have happened if certain conditions had been met.
