Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb clabauder
Introduction to the verb clabauder
The English translation of the French verb clabauder is “to gossip” or “to chatter.” It is pronounced “kla-bo-dé.”
Clabauder comes from the Old French word “clabaude,” which means “idle talk” or “gossip.” It is most commonly used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Présent tense to express something that is uncertain or subjective.
Here are three examples of clabauder in the Subjonctif Présent tense:
- Il faut qu’elle ne clabaude pas sur nos problèmes familiaux. (She must not gossip about our family problems.)
- J’aimerais qu’ils arrêtent de clabauder sur moi derrière mon dos. (I wish they would stop gossiping about me behind my back.)
- Il est important que nous ne clabaudions pas sur nos collègues de travail. (It is important that we don’t gossip about our coworkers.)
In each of these examples, the subjunctive form of clabauder is used to express a wish or a demand. It indicates that the action of gossiping is not certain to happen, but rather it depends on the wishes or demands of the person speaking. The verb is often used in a negative context, as in the first and third examples, to express a prohibition or a desire for the action not to occur. In the second example, it is used to express a wish for others to stop a current action.
