L’impératif Présent (Imperative Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb encroiser
Introduction to the verb encroiser
The English translation of the French verb encroiser is “to make a cross sign” or “to cross oneself.” The infinitive form is pronounced “ahn-kwah-zay.”
The word encroiser comes from the Old French verb “encroisier,” which is derived from the Latin word “in crucem,” meaning “in the form of a cross.” It is most often used in religious contexts, particularly in reference to the act of making the sign of the cross. However, it can also be used in a figurative sense to mean “to bless” or “to consecrate.”
In the L’impératif Présent tense, encroiser is most commonly used as a command or instruction. Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense:
- Encroisez-vous avant de manger. (Cross yourselves before eating.)
- N’oubliez pas de vous encroiser en entrant dans l’église. (Don’t forget to cross yourselves when entering the church.)
- Encroisons-nous pour demander la bénédiction de Dieu. (Let us cross ourselves to ask for God’s blessing.)
In these examples, encroiser is used to instruct or remind others to make the sign of the cross. It can also be used as a reminder to oneself, as in the second example, where the speaker is reminding themselves to cross themselves when entering the church.
