Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb fesser
Introduction to the verb fesser
The English translation of the French verb fesser is “to spank.” It is pronounced as “feh-seh” in its infinitive form.
The word fesser comes from the Latin verb “futuere,” meaning “to beat” or “to strike.” It entered the French language in the 14th century and has been commonly used to refer to a form of discipline or punishment involving striking someone on the buttocks.
In everyday French, fesser is most often used in the Passé Composé (Present Perfect) tense to talk about a past action that has been completed. It is typically used in a colloquial or informal context.
Here are three simple examples of fesser in the Passé Composé tense:
-
J’ai fessé mon fils pour avoir désobéi. (I spanked my son for disobeying.)
-
Nous avons été fessés quand nous étions enfants. (We were spanked when we were children.)
-
Tu as fessé tes élèves pour leur mauvais comportement. (You spanked your students for their bad behavior.)
In each of these examples, fesser is used to describe a completed action in the past, with the subject being the person who carried out the spanking. Its usage in the Passé Composé tense implies that the action of spanking has already happened and is no longer ongoing.
