Imparfait (Imperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb blacklister
Introduction to the verb blacklister
The English translation of the French verb “blacklister” is “to blacklist.” The infinitive form “blacklister” is pronounced as “blak-lee-stay.”
“Blacklister” is a verb of French origin that combines the word “black” (meaning “black” or “dark”) and the suffix “-lister” (meaning “to list”). It refers to the act of putting someone or something on a blacklist, which is a list of people, organizations, or items that are to be avoided or penalized.
In everyday French, the verb “blacklister” is commonly used in the imparfait tense, which is the past tense used to describe ongoing or repeated actions in the past. Here are three examples of its usage in the imparfait tense, along with their English translations:
-
Je blacklistais les utilisateurs qui ne respectaient pas les règles.
(I used to blacklist users who didn’t respect the rules.) -
Tu blacklistais systématiquement les numéros de téléphone inconnus.
(You used to systematically blacklist unknown phone numbers.) -
Nous blackmentions les entreprises qui ne respectaient pas les droits des travailleurs.
(We used to blacklist companies that didn’t respect workers’ rights.)
Please note that the word “blackmention” in the third example is a neologism derived from the combination of “blacklister” and “mention.” Its use is not as common as “blacklister” alone, but it helps convey the idea of mentioning or listing someone on a blacklist.
