Introduction to the verb bander
The English translation of the French verb bander is “to band” or “to stiffen.” It is pronounced as “bahn-day” in its infinitive form.
The language origin of bander can be traced back to the Old French word “bander,” meaning “to bind or tie.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Passé Composé tense, which corresponds to the present perfect tense in English. This tense is used to talk about past actions that are completed or have just happened.
