séjournerais

Séjournerais is the present conditional form of the French verb séjourner, used in the first and second person singular. It expresses a hypothetical or polite action and is often employed in conditional clauses or courteous requests.

The verb séjourner means to stay or reside for a period, typically in a place away from one’s usual home. Séjourner as a concept is linked to the noun séjour, meaning a stay or sojourn. The formation of the conditional present relies on the infinitive séjourner plus endings that resemble the imperfect of the indicative, yielding je séjournerais, tu séjournerais, il séjournerait, nous séjournerions, vous séjourneriez, ils séjourneraient.

Conjugation example in the present conditional: je séjournerais, tu séjournerais, il séjournerait, nous séjournerions, vous séjourneriez, ils séjourneraient. This form is distinct from the future and from the present tense, and it is not used for definite events but for possibilities, wishes, or polite offers.

Usage notes and examples: je séjournerais à Lyon si je pouvais partir bientôt; elle séjournerait chez des amis si elle venait en visite. In everyday spoken French, the present conditional is common in hypothetical statements or softening assertions, while the passé du conditionnel would be used for past hypotheticals (je serais resté si...). Séjournerais is therefore a standard tool in expressing conditional ideas related to staying somewhere.
