Futur Proche (Near Future) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb dodeliner
Introduction to the verb dodeliner
The English translation of the French verb dodeliner is “to nod.” It is pronounced as “doh-deh-lee-nay” in its infinitive form.
Dodeliner comes from the Old French word “dodeler,” which means “to rock, sway, or waddle.” It is derived from the Latin word “dodulus,” meaning “simple” or “foolish.” In everyday French, dodeliner is often used in the Futur Proche tense to express an action that will happen in the near future.
Here are three simple examples of dodeliner being used in the Futur Proche tense:
- Je vais dodeliner la tête en signe d’approbation. (I am going to nod my head in agreement.)
- Tu vas dodeliner en écoutant de la musique. (You are going to nod while listening to music.)
- Ils vont dodeliner devant la télévision toute la soirée. (They are going to nod in front of the television all evening.)
In these examples, the Futur Proche tense is formed by using the verb “aller” in the present tense followed by the infinitive form of dodeliner. The English translations also use the future tense to convey the same meaning.
