Conditionnel Présent (Conditional Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb commérer
Introduction to the verb commérer
The English translation of the French verb commérer is “to gossip” or “to chat”. It is pronounced as “kohm-eh-ray”.
The language origin of commérer comes from the Old French word “commarier”, meaning “to share a meal together”. It evolved into “commère” which referred to a “godmother” and eventually took on the meaning of “gossip”.
In everyday French, commérer is most often used in the Conditionnel Présent tense to express a hypothetical or possible action. It is formed by adding the conditional endings (-ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient) to the verb stem “commèr-“.
