L’impératif Présent (Imperative Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb désemparer
Introduction to the verb désemparer
The English translation of the French verb désemparer is “to dishearten” or “to discourage.” It is pronounced “day-sahn-pah-ray.”
Désemparer comes from the Old French word “desemparer,” which is derived from the Latin word “disimperare,” meaning “to deprive of power.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the L’impératif Présent tense, which is the imperative form used for giving commands or orders.
Example 1: Désempare-le avec tes mots.
(Dishearten him with your words.)
Example 2: Ne vous laissez pas désemparer par les difficultés.
(Do not let yourself be discouraged by difficulties.)
Example 3: Nous devons désemparer nos ennemis en restant unis.
(We must dishearten our enemies by staying united.)
In these examples, désemparer is used to convey a sense of losing hope or motivation, and the imperative tense emphasizes the urgency of the command. It can also be used in a more literal sense, meaning “to dismast” or “to unrig” a ship.
