The English translation of the French verb maniérer is “to act in a refined manner” or “to behave in a mannered way.” It is pronounced “mah-nee-yay.”

The language origin of maniérer can be traced back to the Latin verb “manus,” meaning “hand.” In Old French, the word “maniérer” meant “to handle” or “to manipulate.” Over time, it evolved to also mean “to behave” or “to act.”

In everyday French, maniérer is most often used in the Futur Antérieur tense to describe an action that will have been completed in the future. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the future tense plus the past participle of the main verb.

Here are three simple examples of maniérer used in the Futur Antérieur tense:

  1. Demain, il aura maniéré sa colère avec élégance. (Tomorrow, he will have handled his anger with grace.)
  2. Nous serons partis avant qu’elle n’ait maniéré sa tristesse. (We will have left before she has behaved her sadness.)
  3. Vous aurez maniéré votre aversion pour les conventions sociales. (You will have acted out your aversion to social conventions.)

In each of these examples, the action of “maniérer” is completed before another action takes place in the future. It is often used to describe a refined or mannered behavior, as seen in the first and third sentences. In the second example, it is used in a more literal sense to handle or behave a certain way.

Maniérer – About the French Futur Antérieur (Future Anterior) Tense

The French futur antérieur tense is a compound tense used to express actions or events that will have occurred in the future before another action takes place. It is formed by using the future tense of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” (depending on the main verb) followed by the past participle of the main verb.
NOTE: To take a deep dive into all the French tenses then see my article on Mastering French Tense Conjugation.

Construction

1. For most verbs, use “avoir” as the auxiliary verb:
   – Subject + future tense of “avoir” + past participle
Example with the verb “manger” (to eat):
– J’aurai mangé (I will have eaten)
– Tu auras mangé (You will have eaten)
– Il/elle/on aura mangé (He/She/One will have eaten)
– Nous aurons mangé (We will have eaten)
– Vous aurez mangé (You will have eaten)
– Ils/elles auront mangé (They will have eaten)
2. For a select group of verbs, use “être” as the auxiliary verb. These are typically verbs of motion or state-changing verbs (e.g., aller, venir, naître, mourir, partir, etc.). The formation is the same, but the auxiliary verb is “être.”
Example with the verb “partir” (to leave):
– Je serai parti(e) (I will have left)
– Tu seras parti(e) (You will have left)
– Il/elle/on sera parti(e) (He/She/One will have left)
– Nous serons parti(e)s (We will have left)
– Vous serez parti(e)(s) (You will have left)
– Ils/elles seront parti(e)s (They will have left)

Common Everyday Usage Patterns

1. The futur antérieur is used to express an action that will be completed before a specific point in the future. For example:
   – Je partirai dès que j’aurai fini mon travail. (I will leave as soon as I have finished my work.)
   – Ils seront rentrés avant que la pluie commence. (They will have returned before the rain starts.)
2. It is often used with time expressions that indicate when the action will occur relative to another future action, such as “dès que” (as soon as), “avant que” (before), “une fois que” (once), etc.

Interactions with Other Tenses

– The futur antérieur tense is commonly used in combination with the future simple (futur simple) and other tenses to indicate the sequence of actions in the future. The futur antérieur typically refers to the action that will have been completed before another action takes place.

For example

– Quand tu auras terminé ton devoir, tu pourras sortir. (When you have finished your homework, you can go out.)
– J’irai te voir après que tu seras rentré. (I will visit you after you have returned.)
