Usage Note

Imaginer is a regular -er verb. The reflexive s'imaginer means 'to imagine oneself' or 'to picture' a scenario in your mind, and is often used in the imperative: imaginez-vous en France! (picture yourself in France!). It does not require a subjunctive the way penser sometimes does, making it a learner-friendly alternative.

Examples

"Imagine un monde sans guerre."

Natural Translation
