Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb coincer
Introduction to the verb coincer
The English translation of the French verb coincer is “to jam,” “to get stuck,” or “to trap.” It is pronounced as “kwah-say.”
The language origin of coincer can be traced back to the Latin word “coincidere,” meaning “to fall together.” In everyday French, coincer is most often used in the Subjonctif Présent tense to express a possibility or desire.
- Il faut que je te parle avant que tu ne coinces dans le trafic. (I need to talk to you before you get stuck in traffic.)
- J’aimerais que nous ne coincions pas dans cette situation compliquée. (I would like us to not get trapped in this complicated situation.)
- Il est possible que le chat se coince dans la fenêtre. (It is possible that the cat gets stuck in the window.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Présent tense is used to express a possibility or desire, rather than a certainty. It is commonly used after expressions such as “il faut que” (it is necessary that), “j’aimerais que” (I would like), or “il est possible que” (it is possible that).
