Introduction to the verb antidater
The English translation of the French verb antidater is “to postdate.” It is pronounced as “ahn-tee-da-teh” in its infinitive form.
The word antidater is derived from the French words “anti” meaning “against” and “date” meaning “date.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Passé Composé tense, which is the equivalent of the English Present Perfect tense.
