This is the 1959th most frequent French word.
souhaitant
"Wishing" or "desiring."
The word "souhaitant" is used as a present participle derived from the verb "souhaiter" (to wish), conveying a direct and active desire.
Je suis souhaitant de tout cœur le succès de cette entreprise.
I am wholeheartedly wishing for the success of this endeavor.
Here, "souhaitant" functions as a present participle, linked to the subject "elle," expressing her active desire for her friend's happiness.
Elle a envoyé un message à son ami, souhaitant qu'il soit heureux.
She sent a message to her friend, wishing that he would be happy.
In this example, "souhaitant" introduces a clause that provides the reason or context for the main action of the sentence, acting as an adjective-like descriptor.
