Conditionnel Présent (Conditional Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb délier
Introduction to the verb délier
The English translation of the French verb délier is “to untie.” It is pronounced as “day-lee-eh.”
Délier comes from the Latin word “deligere,” meaning “to choose.” It entered the French language in the 12th century and has evolved to mean “to untie” or “to loosen.”
In everyday French, délier is often used in the Conditionnel Présent tense to express a hypothetical or possible action.
