Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb chier
Introduction to the verb chier
The English translation of the French verb chier is “to shit.” It is pronounced as “shee-ay.”
The origin of the verb chier can be traced back to the Latin word “cacare” which also means “to defecate.” In everyday French, chier is most often used in informal contexts to refer to the act of defecating or to express annoyance or frustration.
In the Subjonctif Présent tense, chier is often used in expressions of desire, obligation, or doubt. Here are three simple examples of its usage:
- Il faut que tu chies avant de partir. (You have to shit before leaving.)
- J’aimerais que tu ne chies pas dans le jardin. (I would like you to not shit in the garden.)
- Je doute qu’il chie dans son pantalon. (I doubt that he shits in his pants.)
In these examples, chier is used in its imperative form, expressing a desire or obligation for someone else to defecate (or not defecate), or in the subjonctif form, expressing doubt about someone’s actions.
