Futur Antérieur (Future Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb bêtifier
Introduction to the verb bêtifier
The English translation of the French verb bêtifier is “to make foolish” or “to act foolishly.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “beh-tee-fee-ay.”
Bêtifier comes from the French word “bête,” which means “foolish” or “stupid.” It is most often used in every day French in the Futur Antérieur tense, which is used to express an action that will have been completed at a specific point in the future. This tense is formed with the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the future tense, followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Example 1: Je serai bêtifié(e) avant la fin de la soirée. (I will have acted foolishly before the end of the evening.)
Example 2: Tu auras bêtifié(e) si tu continues à faire ça. (You will have made a fool of yourself if you keep doing that.)
Example 3: Ils auront bêtifié(s) en buvant autant de vin. (They will have acted foolishly by drinking so much wine.)
In these examples, bêtifier is used in its reflexive form, “se bêtifier,” which means “to make oneself foolish.” It can also be used in its non-reflexive form, as in “il bêtifie tout le temps” (he’s always acting foolishly).
