Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb broder
Introduction to the verb broder
The English translation of the French verb broder is “to embroider.” It is pronounced as “broh-deh.”
Broder comes from the Latin word “brodare,” which means “to prick” or “to embroider.” It first appeared in French in the 12th century as “brodier,” and eventually evolved into “broder” in the 16th century.
In everyday French, broder is most often used in the Subjonctif Présent tense, which is used to express doubt, wishes, emotions, or hypothetical situations. It is formed by using the present tense of the verb “avoir” (to have) or “être” (to be) followed by the past participle of the verb.
Here are three examples of broder used in the Subjonctif Présent tense:
- Il faut que je brode ce motif sur la chemise. (I need to embroider this pattern on the shirt.)
- Je veux que tu brodes un nom sur le doudou de bébé. (I want you to embroider a name on the baby’s comforter.)
- Il est important que nous brodions le logo de l’entreprise sur les uniformes. (It is important that we embroider the company logo on the uniforms.)
In these sentences, broder is used to express a need, a desire, and an importance, respectively. The Subjonctif Présent tense emphasizes the uncertainty or hypothetical nature of the actions.
