Conditionnel Présent (Conditional Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb attrister
Introduction to the verb attrister
The English translation of the French verb attrister is to sadden or to make sad. It is pronounced “ah-trees-tay” in its infinitive form.
The word attrister has its origins in the Latin word “attristare” which means to sadden or to distress. It entered the French language in the 12th century and has been used ever since.
In everyday French, attrister is most often used in the Conditionnel Présent tense, which expresses a hypothetical or uncertain action in the present.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense:
-
J’aimerais ne pas t’attrister avec mes problèmes. (I would rather not sadden you with my problems.)
-
Si tu étais là, tu pourrais m’attrister encore plus avec tes remarques. (If you were here, you could make me even sadder with your remarks.)
-
Je crains que cette nouvelle ne t’attriste. (I’m afraid this news might sadden you.)
In each of these examples, the use of the Conditionnel Présent tense suggests a hypothetical or uncertain situation in which the subject of the verb may or may not experience sadness. It conveys a sense of possibility rather than certainty.
