Futur Simple (Simple Future) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb chiffonner
Introduction to the verb chiffonner
The English translation of the French verb chiffonner is “to crumple” or “to wrinkle.” It is pronounced as “shee-foh-nay” in the infinitive form.
The word chiffonner comes from the French word “chiffon,” which means “rag” or “ragged cloth.” It is most often used in everyday French to describe the act of crumpling or wrinkling something, both physically and figuratively.
In the Futur Simple tense, chiffonner is used to express future actions or events. Here are three simple examples of its usage with their English translations:
- Je chiffonnerai ma robe avant de la mettre. (I will crumple my dress before putting it on.)
- Tu chiffonneras le papier pour le jeter à la poubelle. (You will crumple the paper to throw it in the trash.)
- Ils chiffonneront leurs notes avant l’examen. (They will crumple their notes before the exam.)
In these sentences, chiffonner is used to describe the action of physically crumpling something (the dress and paper) and also the action of mentally crumpling something (the notes). It can also be used to express frustration or annoyance, as in “Il chiffonnera son contrat s’il n’y a pas de clause de non-concurrence.” (He will crumple his contract if there is no non-compete clause.) This shows that chiffonner can also be used figuratively to mean “to get upset” or “to be bothered by something.”
