L’impératif Présent (Imperative Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb boycotter
Introduction to the verb boycotter
The English translation of the French verb boycotter is “to boycott.” The infinitive form is pronounced “bwah-koh-tey.”
Boycotter comes from the Irish name Charles Boycott, who was a land agent in Ireland in the late 1800s. He became known for his harsh treatment of tenants and was eventually ostracized by the community, with merchants refusing to do business with him. This form of protest became known as a “boycott” and the French verb boycotter was derived from it.
In everyday French, the verb boycotter is most often used in the L’impératif Présent tense, which is the imperative form used to give commands or make requests. It is conjugated as “boycotte” for the singular “tu” form and “boycottons” for the plural “nous” form.
Examples:
- Boycotte cette entreprise pour son manque de respect de l’environnement. (Boycott this company for its lack of respect for the environment.)
- Ne boycotte pas les produits locaux, ils sont de meilleure qualité. (Don’t boycott local products, they are of better quality.)
- Boycottons ensemble ce magasin qui exploite ses travailleurs. (Let’s boycott together this store that exploits its workers.)
