Introduction to the verb catastropher
The English translation of the French verb catastropher is “to catastrophize.” It is pronounced as “kah-tahs-tro-fay” in its infinitive form.
The word “catastropher” comes from the French word “catastrophe,” which in turn comes from the Greek word “katastrophē,” meaning “overturning” or “ruin.” In everyday French, catastropher is often used in the Futur Proche tense, which is formed by using the auxiliary verb “aller” followed by the infinitive form of the verb.

- Tu vas encore catastropher pour rien. (You are going to catastrophize for nothing again.)
- Ils vont catastropher à l’idée de devoir partir en vacances sans leur chien. (They are going to catastrophize at the thought of having to go on vacation without their dog.)
In each of these examples, the verb catastropher is used in the Futur Proche tense to express a future action or state of mind. It is often used in a negative sense, to describe someone overreacting or exaggerating a situation.
