Conditionnel Présent (Conditional Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb chniquer
Introduction to the verb chniquer
The English translation of the French verb chniquer is “to nag” or “to pester.” It is pronounced “shee-neek-ay.”
The origin of chniquer is uncertain, as it is not a standard French word. It is thought to possibly originate from the word “chiquer,” meaning “to chew” or “to grind,” combined with the prefix “nique,” which can be used as an intensifier.
In everyday French, chniquer is most often used in the Conditionnel Présent tense to express a hypothetical or possible action in the present or future. This tense is formed by adding the conditional endings “-ais,” “-ais,” “-ait,” “-ions,” “-iez,” “-aient” to the infinitive form of the verb.
