Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb pensionner
Introduction to the verb pensionner
The English translation of the French verb pensionner is “to retire” or “to pension off.” The infinitive form of the verb is pronounced as “pahn-see-oh-nay.”
The language origin of pensionner comes from the French word “pension,” meaning a pension or retirement allowance. The verb itself is derived from the noun, indicating the action of granting or receiving a pension.
In everyday French, pensionner is most often used in the Subjonctif Présent tense to express a hypothetical or uncertain action related to retirement. This tense is used when there is doubt or uncertainty about the action taking place. It is often accompanied by the conjunction “que” to introduce the clause.
Three simple examples of pensionner in the Subjonctif Présent tense are:
- Je souhaite que tu pensionnes ta mère cette année. (I hope you retire your mother this year.)
- Il est nécessaire que nous pensionnions nos employés à l’âge de 65 ans. (It is necessary that we retire our employees at the age of 65.)
- J’aimerais que vous pensionniez avant d’avoir 60 ans. (I would like you to retire before you turn 60.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Présent tense is used because the speaker is expressing their wishes or desires regarding the action of retirement. It is also used in a more formal or polite way of making requests or suggestions. The use of “que” introduces the uncertain or hypothetical nature of the action.
