Introduction to the verb alléger
The English translation of the French verb alléger is “to lighten” or “to ease”. It is pronounced as “ah-leh-zhay”.
The word alléger comes from the Latin word “levigare”, meaning “to make smooth or light”. It was later adopted into Old French as “allegier”, which then evolved into its modern form “alléger”. In everyday French, alléger is most often used as a transitive verb, meaning it requires a direct object. It is used to describe the action of making something lighter or less heavy, both physically and figuratively.
In the Conditionnel Présent tense, alléger is used to express a potential or hypothetical action that could occur in the present or future. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the conditional form followed by the past participle “allégé”.
