Introduction to the verb dénier
The English translation of dénier is “to deny.” It is pronounced “day-nee-yay.”
The verb dénier comes from the Old French word “denier,” meaning “to deny or refuse.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which indicates an action that would have happened in the past if a certain condition had been met.

In these examples, the verb dénier is used to express a hypothetical situation in the past and the action of denying something. It can also be used in other tenses, such as the present tense “elle dénie” (she denies) or the future tense “ils dénieront” (they will deny).
