Conditionnel Présent (Conditional Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déparler
Introduction to the verb déparler
The English translation of the French verb déparler is “to speak ill of someone,” “to badmouth,” or “to spread rumors.”
The infinitive form of déparler is pronounced “day-par-lay.”
The word déparler comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” (meaning “undo”) and the verb “parler” (meaning “to speak”). It originated in the Old French word “desparler” which meant “to go back on one’s word” or “to retract what has been said.” Over time, the meaning evolved to refer to speaking negatively about someone.
In everyday French, déparler is most often used in the Conditionnel Présent tense, which expresses a hypothetical or uncertain action or condition.
Examples:
- Si je déparlais de mon patron, je perdrais mon emploi. (If I spoke ill of my boss, I would lose my job.)
- Tu n’aurais pas dû déparler de ton ami, maintenant il est fâché contre toi. (You shouldn’t have badmouthed your friend, now he’s mad at you.)
- Ils déparleraient de leur voisine si elle ne leur avait pas offert des gâteaux. (They would spread rumors about their neighbor if she hadn’t given them some cakes.)
