Introduction to the verb ballaster
The English translation of the French verb ballaster is “to ballast.” It is pronounced as “bah-lah-stay.”
The word “ballaster” comes from the Old French word “balle,” meaning “ball” or “bullet,” and the suffix “-aster,” which indicates an action or tool related to the root word. It is used in everyday French to refer to the act of adding ballast to a ship or train to improve its stability, or to the process of stabilizing something in general.
In the Conditionnel Présent tense, ballaster is most often used to talk about a hypothetical situation or an action that is not guaranteed to happen. It is formed by adding the conditional endings -ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient to the infinitive form “ballaster.”

- Si nous avions plus de ballast, le navire serait plus stable. (If we had more ballast, the ship would be more stable.)
- Je ballasterais les étagères pour empêcher qu’elles ne se renversent. (I would ballast the shelves to prevent them from tipping over.)
