  • Violent is an adjective, synonymous with brutal.
  • Violent is also the conjugation of the verb violer in the present tense (ils/elles violent)
  • Violent is the past participle of the verb violer.


For example:


Il est emprisonné car il a été violent. <=> He is imprisoned because he was violent.

Cet ouragan est particulièrement violent. <=> This hurricane is particularly violent.


Ils violent des femmes sans défense. <=> They rape defenseless women.

Elles violent les accords que nous avions conclus. <=> They are violating the agreements we made.


En violant cette femme, il a permis à la police de l'identifier. <=> By raping this woman, he allowed the police to identify her.

Ils s'enrichissent en violant la loi. <=> They get rich by breaking the law.
