Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb diluer
Introduction to the verb diluer
The English translation of the French verb diluer is “to dilute.” It is pronounced as “dee-loo-ay.”
The language origin of diluer can be traced back to the Latin word “diluere,” meaning “to wash away” or “to dissolve.” In everyday French, diluer is most often used in the Subjonctif Présent tense, which expresses a doubtful or uncertain action.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense:
- Je crains que tu ne dilues trop le produit. (I fear that you will dilute the product too much.)
- Il faut que j’ajoute de l’eau pour diluer cette sauce. (I need to add water to dilute this sauce.)
- Nous préférons que vous ne diluiez pas le vin trop longtemps. (We prefer that you do not dilute the wine for too long.)
In all of these examples, the Subjonctif Présent tense is used to express a doubt or uncertainty about the action of diluer. It is often used in instructions or recommendations, as in the second and third example.
