Conditionnel Présent (Conditional Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb calancher
Introduction to the verb calancher
The English translation of the French verb calancher is “to collapse” or “to give way.” It is pronounced as “cah-lahn-shay” in the infinitive form.
The word calancher comes from the Occitan word “calanca,” which refers to a narrow, deep valley with steep sides. It is most commonly used in everyday French in the Conditionnel Présent tense, which expresses a hypothetical or possible action in the present or future.
Example 1: Si tu marchais trop vite, tu calancherais. (If you walked too fast, you would collapse.)
Example 2: Nous calancherions sous le poids de nos sacs. (We would collapse under the weight of our bags.)
Example 3: Vous calancheriez si vous ne preniez pas de pauses. (You would collapse if you didn’t take breaks.)
In each of these examples, the verb calancher is used to describe a hypothetical situation in which someone or something collapses. In English, the verb “to collapse” is also used in the same way in the Conditional Present tense.
