Introduction to the verb computer
The English translation of the French verb “computer” is “to compute” or “to calculate.” It is pronounced as “kom-pute-ay” in the infinitive form.
The word “computer” comes from the Latin word “computare” which means “to sum up” or “to reckon.” It first appeared in French in the late 16th century as “computateur” but it was not used to refer to a machine until the mid-20th century.
In everyday French, the verb “computer” is most often used in the l’infinitif présent tense, which is the present infinitive tense. This tense is used to express an action that is ongoing or habitual. Here are three simple examples of how it can be used in this tense, with their respective English translations:
