Introduction to the verb pianoter
The English translation of the French verb pianoter is “to tap” or “to type.” It is pronounced pee-ah-noh-tay.
The origin of the word pianoter comes from the noun piano, meaning “a keyboard instrument,” and the suffix -oter, which indicates a repetitive or continuous action. Therefore, pianoter refers to the action of repeatedly playing on a keyboard instrument, or more commonly, typing on a keyboard.
In everyday French, pianoter is most often used in the Subjonctif Présent tense to express a wish, a suggestion, or a hypothetical situation. Here are three examples of its usage in this tense:
- J’aimerais que tu pianotes plus doucement. (I would like you to type more softly.)
- Il est important que nous pianotions tous les jours pour améliorer notre dactylographie. (It is important that we type every day to improve our typing skills.)
- J’aurais aimé que tu pianotes ce rapport avant demain. (I wish you could type up this report before tomorrow.)
In all of these examples, pianoter is used to express a desired or suggested action in a hypothetical situation. The Subjonctif Présent tense is often used in French to express doubt, uncertainty, or emotion. Therefore, pianoter in this tense conveys a sense of longing or urgency in the speaker’s tone.
