Introduction to the verb batailler
The English translation of the French verb batailler is “to battle” or “to fight”. It is pronounced as “bah-tah-yay” in its infinitive form.
The word batailler comes from the Old French term “bastille” meaning “fortress” or “stronghold”, and the suffix “-er” which denotes the infinitive form of a verb. It is most commonly used in everyday French to describe engaging in a physical or metaphorical battle or struggle.
In the Subjonctif Présent tense, batailler typically expresses a desire, wish, or possibility of fighting or battling. For example:
- Il faut que je bataille pour mes droits. (I must fight for my rights.)
- Nous souhaitons que tu batailles pour ta liberté. (We hope you will fight for your freedom.)
- Il est possible que les deux équipes bataillent jusqu’à la fin. (It is possible that both teams will battle until the end.)
In these examples, batailler is used to express the idea of fighting or battling in a subjunctive mood, indicating a sense of doubt or uncertainty. The verb can also be conjugated in other tenses and moods, such as the Imperatif (command form) or the Indicatif (indicative form), to express different nuances of meaning.
