L’impératif Présent (Imperative Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb chevroter
Introduction to the verb chevroter
The English translation of the French verb chevroter is “to stutter” or “to stammer.” It is pronounced as “shev-ro-tey.”
The word “chevroter” comes from the Old French word “chivre,” meaning “goat,” and the suffix “-oter,” which is used to form verbs and often adds a sense of smallness or lightness. In everyday French, it is most often used to describe someone who speaks with a hesitation or interruption in their speech.
In the L’impératif Présent tense, chevroter is used to give a command or make a request. Here are three simple examples of its usage:
- Arrête de chevroter, parle clairement ! (Stop stuttering, speak clearly!)
- Ne chevrote pas, dis ce que tu penses ! (Don’t stutter, say what you think!)
- Chevrotons ensemble sur ce projet. (Let’s stutter together on this project.)
In all of these examples, the verb chevroter is conjugated in the imperative form to give a command or make a request. The subject pronoun is omitted in the imperative tense, but it would be “tu” for the first two sentences and “nous” for the third sentence. The adverb “ensemble” (together) is also added in the third example to emphasize the idea of doing something together.
