Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb cuiter
Introduction to the verb cuiter
The English translation of the French verb cuiter is “to get drunk.” It is pronounced “kwee-teh.”
Cuiter comes from the Old French word “cuiter” which means “to cook.” It evolved from the Latin word “coquere,” which also means “to cook.”
In everyday French, cuiter is most often used in the passé composé (present perfect) tense to describe an action that has been completed in the past. This tense is formed with the auxiliary verb “avoir” and the past participle of cuiter, which is “cuit.”
Example 1:
J’ai cuit hier soir. (I got drunk last night.)
Example 2:
Tu as cuit toute la nuit. (You got drunk all night.)
Example 3:
Elle a cuit avec ses amis. (She got drunk with her friends.)
Note: In spoken French, the passé composé tense is often used instead of the passé simple (simple past) tense, which is the formal tense used in written French. However, in formal or written language, cuiter is more likely to be used in the passé simple tense.
