The English translation of dépolitiser is “to depoliticize.” It is pronounced as “day-po-lee-tee-zay” in its infinitive form.

Dépolitiser comes from the French word “dépolitique,” which means “apolitical” or “non-political.” The prefix “dé” means “undo” or “remove,” and “politique” means “political,” so the literal meaning of dépolitiser is “to remove politics.”

In everyday French, dépolitiser is most often used in the L’impératif Présent tense, which is the imperative mood used for giving commands or making suggestions. It is often used in a political context to refer to the act of taking politics out of a situation or decision.

Here are three examples of dépolitiser in the L’impératif Présent tense:

  1. “Dépolitisez vos critiques et essayez de voir la situation de manière objective.” (Depoliticize your criticisms and try to see the situation objectively.)
  2. “Ne politisez pas ce sujet, restez neutre.” (Don’t politicize this subject, stay neutral.)
  3. “Dépolitisons la question et concentrons-nous sur les faits.” (Let’s depoliticize the issue and focus on the facts.)

In these examples, dépolitiser is used to urge someone to remove politics from their thoughts or actions and approach a situation with objectivity or neutrality.

Dépolitiser – About the French L’impératif Présent (Imperative Present) Tense

L’impératif Présent is a mood in the French language that is used to give commands, make requests, offer advice, or express a desire in the present tense. It’s a relatively simple tense and is used to address someone directly. Let’s dive into its usage, conjugation, and interactions with other tenses:
NOTE: To take a deep dive into all the French tenses then see my article on Mastering French Tense Conjugation.

Usage

Giving commands

You use l’impératif présent to give direct commands or orders. It is often used in informal and formal situations to tell someone to do or not do something. For example:

   – Mange ta soupe. (Eat your soup.)
   – Ferme la porte. (Close the door.)

Making requests

You can also use the imperative to make polite requests. In this case, it is a gentler way to ask someone to do something. For example:
  
   – Parle plus lentement, s’il te plaît. (Speak more slowly, please.)

Offering advice

It’s common to use l’impératif to give advice or suggestions:
   – Étudie bien pour ton examen. (Study well for your exam.)

Expressing desires

You can express your desires or wishes using the imperative:
   – Amuse-toi bien à la fête. (Have a good time at the party.)

Conjugation Formation

To form l’impératif présent, you need to use the base form of the verb without the subject pronoun (tu, nous, vous, etc.). The conjugation varies depending on the type of verb:
Regular -ER verbs (e.g., parler)
  – Tu: Parle (speak)
  – Nous: Parlons (let’s speak)
  – Vous: Parlez (speak)
Regular -IR verbs (e.g., finir)
  – Tu: Finis (finish)
  – Nous: Finissons (let’s finish)
  – Vous: Finissez (finish)
Regular -RE verbs (e.g., vendre)
  – Tu: Vends (sell)
  – Nous: Vendons (let’s sell)
  – Vous: Vendez (sell)
Irregular verbs (e.g., être, avoir, aller)
  – Tu: Sois (be), aie (have), va (go)
  – Nous: Soyons (let’s be), ayons (let’s have), allons (let’s go)
  – Vous: Soyez (be), ayez (have), allez (go)

Interactions with other tenses

L’impératif is used exclusively in the present tense and does not interact with other tenses in the same way as indicative or subjunctive moods. 
It’s used for direct commands and requests in the here and now. However, in more formal or written contexts, you might find the imperative used with expressions like “quand tu auras fini” (when you have finished) or “dès que tu seras prêt” (as soon as you are ready), which introduce a future action while maintaining the imperative mood for the main verb.
For example:
– Quand tu auras fini ton travail, viens me voir. (When you have finished your work, come see me.)
In this case, the imperative is used in conjunction with future actions, but it’s still employed for the main verb to convey a sense of directness or immediacy.
