Introduction to the verb crever
The English translation of the French verb crever is “to burst” or “to pop.” It is pronounced as “KREH-vay” in its infinitive form.
The word “crever” originates from the Latin word “crepare,” meaning “to burst” or “to crack.” It entered the French language in the 12th century and has been used in everyday speech ever since.
In the Conditionnel Passé tense, “crever” is used to express a hypothetical or unrealized action in the past. It is often used with the conditional auxiliary verb “avoir” to form the construction “aurais crevé,” which translates to “would have burst.”
