The English translation of the French verb controuver is “to invent” or “to make up.” It is pronounced as “kon-troo-vay.”

In modern French, it is most commonly used in the Futur Simple (simple future) tense to indicate a future action or event that is made up or imagined.

- Je controuverai une excuse pour ne pas aller au travail demain. (I will invent an excuse to not go to work tomorrow.)
- Tu controuveras une histoire pour expliquer ton absence. (You will make up a story to explain your absence.)
- Ils controuveront un plan pour résoudre ce problème. (They will come up with a plan to solve this problem.)
In each of these examples, the verb controuver is used to describe an action that is not based on reality, but rather something that is created or fabricated. It is commonly used in everyday French to express one’s ability or intention to invent or make up something.
