Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb lapidifier
Introduction to the verb lapidifier
The English translation of the French verb lapidifier is “to petrify” or “to turn into stone.” It is pronounced as “lah-pee-dee-fee-yay” in its infinitive form.
The word lapidifier comes from the Latin word “lapidificare,” which is derived from “lapidis” meaning “stone” and “facere” meaning “to make.” In everyday French, lapidifier is most often used in the Subjonctif Présent tense, which is used to express a wish, doubt, or possibility.
Here are three simple examples of lapidifier used in the Subjonctif Présent tense:
- Je souhaite que l’eau lapidifie le bois. (I wish for the water to petrify the wood.)
- Il doute que cette formule lapidifie la plante. (He doubts that this formula will turn the plant into stone.)
- Nous espérons que cette potion lapidifie le dragon. (We hope that this potion will petrify the dragon.)
In all three examples, the verb lapidifier is used in the Subjonctif Présent tense to express a wish or doubt about an action causing something to turn into stone. In English, the verb “to petrify” is conjugated the same way in the Subjunctive Present tense, making the translations similar to the French sentences.
