L’infinitif Présent (Infinitive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb encaustiquer
Introduction to the verb encaustiquer
The English translation of the French verb encaustiquer is “to wax.” The infinitive form of encaustiquer is pronounced as “ahn-kohs-tee-keh.”
Encaustiquer comes from the French word “caustique,” which means caustic or corrosive. It is derived from the Latin word “causticus,” which has the same meaning. In everyday French, encaustiquer is most often used in its reflexive form, s’encaustiquer, meaning “to polish oneself.”
- Je m’encaustique tous les matins pour être bien présentable. (I wax myself every morning to look presentable.)
- Elle s’encaustique les ongles avant de sortir. (She waxes her nails before going out.)
- Nous nous encaustiquons les meubles avant la fête. (We wax the furniture before the party.)
In these examples, encaustiquer is used to refer to the action of waxing oneself, one’s nails, or furniture. In each case, the infinitive form is used after the reflexive pronoun “se” to indicate the action is being done to oneself. In English, the verb “to wax” remains the same in all three sentences.
