Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb cocufier
Introduction to the verb cocufier
The English translation of the French verb cocufier is “to cuckold.” It is pronounced “koh-koo-fee-ay.”
The word cocufier comes from the Latin word “cuculla” which means “cowl.” In medieval times, a cowl was a symbol of a cuckold, or a man whose wife was unfaithful to him. Over time, the word cocufier has evolved to have a more general meaning of being cheated on or betrayed in a relationship.
In everyday French, cocufier is most often used in the subjonctif présent tense to express doubt or uncertainty. Here are three simple examples of its usage:
- Je doute qu’il me cocufie. (I doubt that he is cheating on me.)
- Il est possible qu’elle le cocufie. (It’s possible that she is cheating on him.)
- Nous craignons qu’ils se cocufient. (We are afraid that they are cheating on each other.)
In these examples, the subjonctif présent tense is used because the speaker is expressing doubt or uncertainty about the action of being cuckolded. It is also used to convey a hypothetical or possible situation.
English translations:
- I doubt that he is cheating on me.
- It’s possible that she is cheating on him.
- We are afraid that they are cheating on each other.
