Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb baffer
Introduction to the verb baffer
The English translation of the French verb baffer is “to slap.” It is pronounced as “bah-feh” in the infinitive form.
The word “baffer” comes from the old French word “baf,” meaning “to strike or slap,” and is believed to be derived from the sound of a slap. It is mainly used in informal spoken French and is considered a slang term.
In everyday French, “baffer” is often used in the Subjonctif Présent tense to express a wish, a demand, or an uncertain or hypothetical action. Here are three examples of its usage:
-
Je suggère que tu te baffes toi-même pour avoir dit une telle bêtise. (I suggest that you slap yourself for saying such nonsense.)
-
Il est temps que ces enfants se baffent mutuellement et se réconcilient. (It’s time for these children to slap each other and make up.)
-
J’aimerais que tu te baffes le visage et que tu reprennes ton calme avant de parler. (I wish you would slap your face and calm down before speaking.)
The English translations of these sentences may vary depending on the context and tone, but the subjunctive form of “baffer” adds a sense of urgency or desire to the action.
