Conditionnel Présent (Conditional Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb empiéter
Introduction to the verb empiéter
The English translation of the French verb empiéter is “to encroach” or “to encroach upon.” It is pronounced as “ahm-pee-eh-tey.”
The verb empiéter comes from the French word “piéter,” meaning “to walk.” The prefix “em-” implies “to go beyond” or “to infringe upon,” so empiéter literally means “to walk beyond” or “to walk over.” In everyday spoken French, empiéter is often used to describe someone or something invading or trespassing on someone else’s space or rights.
In the Conditionnel Présent tense, empiéter is used to express a possible action or situation that is dependent on a condition. It is formed by adding the conditional endings “-ais,” “-ais,” “-ait,” “-ions,” “-iez,” or “-aient” to the infinitive form of the verb.
Three examples of its usage in this tense are:
- Si tu n’arrêtes pas de m’empiéter, je vais devoir te renvoyer. (If you don’t stop encroaching on me, I will have to fire you.)
- Ils empiéteraient sur notre terrain s’ils construisaient un mur plus haut. (They would encroach on our land if they built a higher wall.)
- Nous ne voudrions pas empiéter sur vos plans, mais est-ce que vous pensez à nos intérêts également? (We wouldn’t want to encroach on your plans, but are you also considering our interests?)
