Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb banaliser
Introduction to the verb banaliser
The English translation of the French verb banaliser is “to trivialize” or “to make banal.”
To pronounce the infinitive form of banaliser, you would say “bah-nah-lee-zay.”
Banaliser comes from the French word “banal,” which comes from the Old French word “ban,” meaning “proclamation” or “official announcement.” It became associated with being common or belonging to a group, and eventually evolved to mean something ordinary or unoriginal. The suffix “-iser” is added to verbs in French to indicate an action or process, so banaliser literally means “to make banal.”
