Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb couchailler
Introduction to the verb couchailler
The English translation of the French verb couchailler is “to snuggle” or “to cuddle”. The infinitive form is pronounced “koo-shay-yay”.
The word couchailler comes from the Old French word “colchier” meaning “to lie down” or “to rest”. It is most often used in everyday French in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which is the conditional past tense. This tense is used to express an action that would have taken place in the past if certain conditions were met.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense:
- Si nous avions été seuls, nous aurions couchaillé toute la journée. (If we had been alone, we would have snuggled all day.)
- J’aurais aimé que tu sois là pour qu’on puisse couchailler ensemble. (I wish you were here so we could cuddle together.)
- S’ils avaient fait moins de bruit, le bébé aurait pu couchailler plus longtemps. (If they had made less noise, the baby could have snuggled longer.)
In these examples, the verb couchailler is used to express a desire or possibility in the past, but the conditions necessary for it to happen were not met. It conveys a sense of longing or regret for a missed opportunity.
