Conditionnel Présent (Conditional Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déjeuner
Introduction to the verb déjeuner
The English translation of the French verb déjeuner is “to have lunch.” It is pronounced “day-jhuh-nay.”
The word déjeuner comes from the Latin word “disjunare,” meaning “to break one’s fast.” It was first used in French in the 16th century to refer to the first meal of the day. Over time, its meaning shifted to refer to the midday meal, and now it is commonly used to describe any meal eaten between breakfast and dinner.
In everyday French, déjeuner is most often used in the Conditionnel Présent tense to express a possible action in the future, or a hypothetical action in the present.
Examples:
- Si j’avais le temps, je déjeunerais avec toi demain. (If I had time, I would have lunch with you tomorrow.)
- Je déjeunerais des pâtes tous les jours si j’étais en Italie. (I would have pasta for lunch every day if I were in Italy.)
- Tu ne déjeunerais pas si tu n’avais pas faim. (You wouldn’t have lunch if you weren’t hungry.)
