« J’aime » ou « j’aime à »
Bonjour !
J’aime à utiliser une telle formulation, cependant, est-elle correcte dans « tous » les cas, puis-je l’utiliser à chaque fois qu’elle précède un infinitif ?
Merci par avance.
Bonjour AngelTears, la formulation « j’aime à » devant un infinitif est correcte, mais elle est très littéraire et à réserver à l’écrit soutenu. À l’oral et dans le langage courant, elle peut toutefois être utilisée pour donner un effet particulier à son discours, éventuellement avec une connotation humoristique (pour parodier un certain milieu, par exemple).
C’est bien ce qu’il me semblait, merci beaucoup pour cette réponse !
Bonjour,
Aimer suivi de la préposition à n’est pas rare.
On rencontre aimer à dans le refrain de cette chanson :
Elle aime à rire, elle aime à boire, elle aime à chanter comme nous…
Ou dans cette phrase mnémotechnique qui donne les premières décimales du nombre pi.
« Que j’aime à faire apprendre un nombre utile aux sages, immortel Archimède, artiste astucieux…»
Pi : 3,141 592 653 589 79…
Ou dans la littérature :
Emily Williams was the president of West Hill High School’s Parent-Teacher Association for the second consecutive year. She didn’t look 38 years old, instead was often mistaken for being in her mid twenties. She was a regularly at the local gym. She had pearl white skin, green eyes and honey-brown hair. A trophy wife. Curvaceous. Her 36C breasts were perfect and bounced slightly with every step. They showed no signs of sagging and were tipped with two delicious cherries. She had cherry-pink eraser nipples, long and fat. She had curves in all the right places. She had a large, well shaped butt, the perfect thighs and toned calves. Even her feet were perfectly kept live sex . Her son Timothy, a freshmen at West Hill, was off on a fishing trip with his father, her husband of 12 years, Joseph. The yearly fishing trip was a Williams tradition! In her boredom, she had agreed to supervise a high school mixer with students, teachers and parents. The mixer was a after-event, at the end of a week-long fundraising carnival sex chat. She had decided on a green dress, to match her eyes. The tight dress accentuated all of her curves. She wore a sexy black lace bra and a matching pair of panties. She was very loyal to her husband but enjoyed showing off. Green nail polish ensures her fingernails and toenails matched her dress. She wore white peep-toe heels which accentuated her toned calves. She applied light-pink lip gloss and headed down to the school sex cam . The party was already in full swing and Emily immediately became the center of attraction. Some of the male parents at the party sneaked glances, while others stared openly. A few of the younger students were talking and laughing. She got a glass of red wine and joined a group of fellow PTA members.
