Introduction to the verb clisser
The English translation of the French verb clisser is “to slide” or “to slip.” It is pronounced “klee-say” in its infinitive form.
Clisser comes from the Latin word “glissare,” meaning “to slide.” In everyday French, it is most commonly used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which expresses a hypothetical or past action that could have happened but did not. This tense is formed with the subjunctive of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” and the past participle of the main verb.

- J’aurais aimé que tu aies clissé sur la glace avec moi. (I would have liked for you to have slid on the ice with me.)
- Il était possible que nous soyons clissés par les vagues. (It was possible that we had been swept by the waves.)
- Elle aurait aimé que vous ayez clissé plus doucement. (She would have liked for you to have slid more gently.)
In these examples, the verb clisser is conjugated in the past subjunctive form (clissé) and is used to express a hypothetical or desired action in the past. Its English translation may vary depending on the context, but it generally conveys the idea of sliding or slipping in a smooth and fluid manner.
