Introduction to the verb afférer
The English translation of the French verb afférer is “to concern” or “to pertain to.” It is pronounced “ah-feh-rer” in the infinitive form.
Afférer comes from the Old French word “afferir,” which means “to bring, to lead.” It is derived from the Latin word “adferre,” meaning “to bring to.”
In everyday French, afférer is most often used in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense to express a possible or hypothetical situation that is still ongoing in the past. It is used after conjunctions such as “que,” “pour que,” or “afin que.”
Three simple examples of afférer in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense are:
- Il était important que tu afférasses à cette réunion. (It was important for you to attend this meeting.)
- Nous étions inquiets qu’elle n’afférât pas à la sécurité de son enfant. (We were worried that she didn’t care about her child’s safety.)
- Il fallait que je lui rappelasse que cela l’afférait également. (I had to remind him that it concerned him as well.)
In these examples, afférer is used in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense to express a hypothetical or uncertain situation in the past. The English translations reflect this use of the verb in the past tense.
