Futur Antérieur (Future Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb initier
Introduction to the verb initier
The English translation of the French verb initier is “to initiate” or “to introduce.” It is pronounced ee-nee-tee-ay.
The word initier comes from the Latin initium, which means “beginning” or “entrance.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Futur Antérieur tense, which expresses actions that will be completed in the future before another future action or time.
Here are three simple examples of initier in the Futur Antérieur tense:
- Je les aurai initiés avant la cérémonie. (I will have introduced them before the ceremony.)
- Tu auras initié le projet avant la fin du mois. (You will have initiated the project before the end of the month.)
- Ils auront initié une nouvelle tradition pour les fêtes de fin d’année. (They will have initiated a new tradition for the end of year celebrations.)
In these examples, the action of initiating will be completed before a future action (the ceremony, the end of the month, the holiday celebrations). This tense is often used to discuss future plans or events that will have already taken place before a certain point in time.
