Essayer Meaning & Translation – To try in French

By: Author David Issokson

Posted on Published: January 7, 2024  - Last updated: January 22, 2024

In today’s lesson we’ll have a look at the verb essayer , which means “to try”. For example, j’essaie d’apprendre le français (I try to learn French). Let’s jump right into the lesson!

Essayer Meaning & Translation

Word origin.

According to Wiktionary.org , the French verb essayer is related to the noun essai (try, attempt), which comes from the Latin verb exigere (to judge, examine, weigh) and noun exagium (weight, balance).

Present tense conjugation

Essayer is a regular ER verb. This means that its endings are the same as all other French regular ER verbs when conjugated in the present tense. Essayer has two accepted spelling patterns in the present tense. The pronunciations are the exact same.

J’essaie I try Tu essaies You try (singular, informal) Il, elle essaie He, she tries Nous essayons We try Vous essayez You try (plural, formal) Ils, elles essaient They try

J’essaye I try Tu essayes You try (singular, informal) Il, elle essaye He, she tries Nous essayons We try Vous essayez You try (plural, formal) Ils, elles essayent They try

Example sentences

In our first example sentence, essayer is simply “to try”. This example uses the word jamais (never), which we cover in our French negations lesson .

Si tu n’essaies pas, tu ne réussiras jamais.

If you don’ try, you’ll never succeed.

Essayer de + infinitive

In these two example sentnces, essayer de + infinitive means “to try to do something”.

J’essaie de chanter la chanson mais c’est très difficile.

I try to sing the song but it’s very difficult.

Je vais essayer de terminer mon projet avant demain.

I’ll try to finish my project before tomorrow

Essayer + noun

In the next two examples, essayer is followed by a noun, meaning “to try something”. Essayer can also translate to “to test”. Hence, “I test the skis” could also work as a translation for this next sentence.

The les in this example sentence is a direct object pronoun, meaning “them”. This post on our site covers object pronouns in depth.

J’essaie les nouveaux skis avant de les acheter.

I try the new skies before buying them.

Nous allons essayer le nouveau restaurant ce soir.

We are going to try the new restaurant tonight.

In French, the noun essai transaltes to “try” or “attempt” and is the origin of the English word “essay”.

Il a réussi son examen au troisième essai.

He passed the exam after the third try.

Et voilà ! You now know how to use essayer in French! Now check out our other lessons covering the verbs quitter (to leave) , bosser (to work hard) and ranger (to tidy, put away) .

French Verb Conjugation Using "Essayer" (to Try)

Erica Shires / Getty Images

• Pronunciation & Conversation
• Resources For Teachers

The French verb  essayer  means "to try." It's a simple word that can easily be confused with  essuyer  (to wipe) , so be sure to look and listen for that 'A' in  essayer .

In order to place  essayer  into the past, present, or future tense, the verb needs to be conjugated . Just follow along in this lesson and you'll be saying "tried" and "trying" in French before you know it.

Conjugating the French Verb  Essayer ​​

Essayer  is an optional stem-changing verb . Typically with verbs that end in - yer , the 'Y' has to change to an 'I' in certain forms. The rules are a little more casual with  essayer  as you'll see in the table. When there are two forms of the conjugation, you can use either.

The stem of  essayer  is  essay -. To this, a variety of infinitive endings is added that conform with the subject pronoun as well as the tense of the sentence. For instance, "I try" is " j'essaie " or " j'essaye ." Similarly, there are two options for "we will try": " nous essaierons " or " nous essayerons ."

All this leaves you with many words to memorize. The good news is that there are many opportunities to practice it and use  essayer  as you "try" things throughout your day.

The Present Participle of  Essayer

The  present participle  of essayer is  essayant . This is as simple as adding - ant  to the verb stem. Not only does it work as a verb, but it can also become an adjective, gerund, or noun when needed.

The Past Participle and Passé Composé

The  past participle   essayé  is used to form the  passé composé , a common past tense form of "tried" in French. To use this, you'll also need to conjugate the  auxiliary verb   avoir . For example, "I tried" is " j'ai essayé " and "we tried" is " nous avons essayé ."

More Simple  Essayer  Conjugations to Know

When the action of trying is in some way questionable, you can turn to the subjunctive verb mood . Similarly, if it's dependent on something, the conditional verb mood is used.

With less frequency, you will come across the passé simple or the imperfect subjunctive . These are mostly found in formal writing and will help considerably with reading comprehension.

To use  essayer  in commands or direct requests, turn to the imperative verb form . When using this, the subject pronoun is not required: use " essaie " instead of " tu essaie ."

essayer à / de - préposition

S'il vous plaît, quelle est la différence d'usage de "essayer à" et "essayer de"? Par exemple : "Lévi-Strauss a passé sa vie à essayer de comprendre, de donner une forme intelligible à tout ce qui se dérobe." Et : " Essayer à marcher. J'y essaierai."  

Senior Member

On n'emploie que "s'essayer" suivi de la préposition "à" et dans ce cas le verbe signifie "faire preuve de ses capacités pour...". Dans les autres cas, "essayer" est suivi de "de". Ex. Il s'essaie à la peinture, à l'équitation... Il essaie de le coinvaincre.  

S'essayer à signifie plutôt tester ses capacités pour... Ce qui n'enlève rien au fait qu'effectivement, essayer se construit avec de dans tous les autres cas. Par conséquent, J'y essayerai n'est pas correct. Il faut dire Je l'essayerai .  

N'oubliez pas J'essaierai.

Bonjour, La formulation correcte est bien "essayer de (faire quelque chose)". Mais il existe aussi une expression qui est " s' essayer à (quelque chose)", dont le sens est proche ( to try one's hand at... ), mais pas exactement identique. On s'essaie à quelque chose lorsqu'on essaie de faire quelque chose.

• Je crois que la volonté peut beaucoup sur les hallucinations. J'ai essayé à m'en donner sans y réussir. (Flaubert)
• Il ramasse le jeu de cartes que Crockson a laissé par terre et il essaie maladroitement à faire disparaître l'as de cœur. (Achard)
• En me réveillant, encore tout tremblant d'épouvante, j'ai écrit ce rêve, tout de suite, avant d' essayer à me rendormir , et je le copie textuellement. (Du Camp)
• Apr 26, 2014

Si on dit j'essaie à/de comprendre quelque chose, est-ce qu'on utiliserait plutôt à ou de? Et pourquoi?  

Bonjour et bienvenue Meadie, On dirait seulement de car on essaie de faire quelque chose.

Il y a encore s'essayer à ce qui signifie se mettre à l'essai pour voir si l'on est capable d'une chose : S'essayer à sauter, à monter à cheval....

Vieilli. Essayer à. Je crois que la volonté peut beaucoup sur les hallucinations. J'ai essayé à m'en donner sans y réussir (Flaub., Corresp., 1866, p. 95).

Other common FAQ / Notes / Tips

• Sharpener - Anything that works with a regular wooden pencil works with this set. Pencil sharpening knife, electric sharpener, sand paper etc...
• Break - Due to fact that the pencil is essentially a piece of compressed charcoal, if dropped on hard floor it might break. So handle with care. Though even if any accident happens, all parts can still be used. Either by a pencil extender, or just scratch off the shell of the pencil and use as a piece of high quality compressed charcoal. Nothing would be wasted.
• Tone Value - As mentioned and worth mentioning again: the greatest strength of charcoal is range of tone value it can deliver. While for very beginners it might feel harder to control vs graphite, it is essential as an artist to learn to use charcoal and take advantage of the contrast it can offer.
• Pairing with ThePortraitArt Sketch book - My brand of sketchbook is designed to compliment with this pencil set. Each sheet from my sketchbook has 2 textures (smooth and rougher). This pencil set works well with both. Feel free to experiment and find out what effect you like. Rough side offers a bit more texture while smooth side is slightly better at blending.
• No waste of stub - As the pencil gets too short to handle (even with pencil extender), simply scratch cover shell off with a sharp edge or sandpaper and use remainder as compressed charcoal. No waste vs traditional wooden pencil.
