What does the phrase "je suis aller" mean?
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. It would be interesting to know exactly where you SAW this! Taken literally, it means "I am to go." Not French, not idiomatic. Possibly you heard "Je suis allé(e)" which sounds exactly the same and means "I went, I did go."
Yeah, it must have been je suis allé(e). Thank you.
The phrase "je suis aller" is a combination of two French verbs: "suis" (from the verb "être," meaning "to be") and "aller" (meaning "to go").
To understand the meaning of the phrase, let's break it down:
1. "Je" means "I" in English.
2. "Suis" is the first-person singular form of the verb "être," which means "to be." So, "je suis" translates to "I am."
3. "Aller" means "to go" in English.
Therefore, "je suis aller" translates to "I am gone" or "I have gone."
It is worth noting that the correct form of this phrase in standard French grammar would be "je suis allé" for a male speaker or "je suis allée" for a female speaker, as the verb "aller" has different conjugations based on the gender of the subject.
