Introduction to the verb adresser
The English translation of the French verb adresser is “to address” or “to direct.” It is pronounced “ah-dreh-ser” in the infinitive form.
The language origin of adresser can be traced back to the Old French word “adresser,” which comes from the Latin word “ad” (to) and “directus” (directed). In everyday French, adresser is most often used in the L’infinitif Présent tense, which is the equivalent of the English present tense.
Three simple examples of its usage in this tense are:
- Je dois adresser une lettre à mon ami. (I must address a letter to my friend.)
- Nous allons adresser nos réclamations au chef d’entreprise. (We are going to address our complaints to the CEO.)
- Tu peux adresser tes questions au professeur pendant le cours. (You can address your questions to the teacher during class.)
In all of these examples, the verb adresser is used to indicate directing something or someone towards a specific person or entity. It can also be used in a more literal sense, such as addressing an envelope or addressing a group of people.
