Introduction to the verb dépasser
The English translation of the French verb dépasser is “to exceed” or “to surpass.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “day-pah-say.”
The word dépasser comes from the Old French word “despasser,” which means “to go beyond.” It is derived from the Latin word “dis” which means “apart” and “passer” which means “to pass.” In everyday French, dépasser is most often used to describe exceeding or going beyond something, whether it be in a physical sense or in terms of expectations or limits.
Examples of dépasser in the L’infinitif Présent tense are:
- Je dois dépasser mes limites pour réussir cette course. (I have to exceed my limits to succeed in this race.)
- Nous devons dépasser les prévisions de vente pour atteindre nos objectifs. (We have to surpass the sales forecast to reach our goals.)
- Tu ne peux pas dépasser la vitesse maximale sur cette route. (You cannot exceed the speed limit on this road.)
In these examples, dépasser is used to convey the idea of going beyond or exceeding something. It can also be used in a figurative sense, such as “dépasser ses peurs” (to overcome one’s fears) or “dépasser ses attentes” (to exceed one’s expectations).
