Conditionnel Présent (Conditional Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb enrouiller
Introduction to the verb enrouiller
The English translation of the French verb enrouiller is “to twist” or “to coil.” It is pronounced as “ahn-roo-ee-yay.”
Enrouiller comes from the French word “roule,” meaning “roll,” and the prefix “en,” meaning “in.” It first appeared in the 14th century and was originally used to refer to the coiling of ropes or threads. Over time, its meaning expanded to include the twisting or coiling of any material, as well as the figurative sense of “twisting” or “entangling” someone in a situation.
In everyday French, enrouiller is most often used in its past participle form “enrouillé” to describe something that is twisted or coiled, or in the infinitive form “enrouiller” to describe the action of twisting or coiling something.
In the Conditionnel Présent tense, enrouiller is used to express a hypothetical situation or a polite request. Here are three examples of its usage in this tense with English translations:
