Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb caséifier
Introduction to the verb caséifier
The English translation of caséifier is “to break/split (milk) into curds and whey.” It is pronounced as “kah-zay-ee-fye-ay.”
Caséifier comes from the French word “caille,” which means “curdled milk.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which is a literary or formal tense used to express actions that are uncertain or hypothetical in the past.
Here are three simple examples of the usage of caséifier in the Subjonctif Passé tense:
- J’aurais aimé que tu aies caséifié le lait avant de le mettre au frigo. (I wish you had broken the milk into curds before putting it in the fridge.)
- Il est possible que le lait se soit caséifié à cause de la chaleur. (It’s possible that the milk curdled because of the heat.)
- J’ai peur que le lait ne se soit caséifié pendant la nuit. (I’m afraid the milk might have curdled during the night.)
In all these examples, caséifier is used in the Subjonctif Passé tense to express a hypothetical or uncertain action in the past. The English translations also use the past tense to reflect this sense of uncertainty.
