Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb rapatrier
Introduction to the verb rapatrier
The English translation of the French verb rapatrier is “to repatriate.” It is pronounced as “rah-pah-tree-ay.”
The word rapatrier comes from the Latin word “repatro,” which means “to return to one’s country.” It entered the French language in the 17th century and was originally used in the context of soldiers returning from war. Over time, it has come to be used in a broader sense of returning any person or thing to their home country or place of origin.
In everyday French, rapatrier is most commonly used in the Subjonctif Présent tense to express a desire or intention for something to be repatriated. For example:
- Il faut que nous rapatriions les réfugiés vers leur pays d’origine. (We must repatriate the refugees to their country of origin.)
- J’aimerais que tu rapatries les affaires de ta grand-mère avant de partir en vacances. (I would like you to repatriate your grandmother’s belongings before leaving on vacation.)
- Mon entreprise exige que je rapatrie mes comptes bancaires en France. (My company requires me to repatriate my bank accounts to France.)
In all of these sentences, the Subjonctif Présent form of rapatrier (rapatriions, rapatries, rapatrie) expresses a potential action that is desired or required. The English translations also use the Subjunctive mood to convey the same meaning.
