Introduction to the verb commanditer
The English translation of the French verb commanditer is “to sponsor” or “to finance.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “koh-mahn-dee-teh.”
The word commanditer comes from the Latin word “commendare,” meaning “to entrust.” It first appeared in the French language in the 12th century.
In everyday French, commanditer is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is used to describe an action that occurred before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the past tense, followed by the past participle of the main verb.
