Futur Proche (Near Future) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb capitonner
Introduction to the verb capitonner
The English translation of the French verb capitonner is “to pad” or “to quilt.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “ka-pee-ton-ay.”
The word “capitonner” comes from the Latin word “capitium,” meaning “head covering.” It was later adapted into Old French as “capiton,” referring to a type of padded cloth used for clothing and furniture. In modern French, “capitonner” is most commonly used in the Futur Proche tense, which is formed by using the auxiliary verb “aller” followed by the infinitive form of the main verb. It expresses actions or events that will take place in the near future.
Examples:
- Je vais capitonner ce fauteuil avant que nos invités n’arrivent. (I am going to pad this armchair before our guests arrive.)
- Tu vas capitonner ta veste pour qu’elle soit plus chaude en hiver. (You are going to quilt your jacket to make it warmer in the winter.)
- Ils vont capitonner les murs de leur nouvelle maison pour l’isoler phoniquement. (They are going to pad the walls of their new house to soundproof it.)
In these examples, “capitonner” is used to describe the action of adding padding or quilting to different objects (a chair, a jacket, and walls) for different purposes (comfort, warmth, and soundproofing). It is a common verb in everyday French, especially when talking about interior design or DIY projects.
