Introduction to the verb adosser
The English translation of the French verb adosser is “to lean” or “to prop against.” The infinitive form is pronounced “a-doh-seh.”
The word adosser comes from the Latin word “adossare,” meaning “to put near or lean against.” It has been used in French since the 14th century.
In everyday French, adosser is most commonly used in the l’infinitif présent tense to indicate an action that is ongoing or habitual. Here are three examples of its usage in this tense:

- Nous aimons bien adosser notre vélo à cet arbre. (We like to lean our bike against that tree.)
- Les étagères sont adossées au mur pour plus de stabilité. (The shelves are propped against the wall for more stability.)
In each of these examples, the verb adosser is used to indicate the act of leaning or propping something against another object. The infinitive form is used because the actions are ongoing or habitual, rather than a one-time occurrence.
