Kultureller Hintergrund
In France, 'conjuguer les efforts' is often linked to the concept of 'le service public'. It implies that different state institutions must work together for the citizen. In Quebec, the phrase is frequently used in the context of 'concertation', a specific social model where labor, business, and government negotiate and work together. In countries like Senegal or Ivory Coast, this phrase is common in development discourse, emphasizing community and international aid coordination. This is a 'Euro-French' staple. It is used constantly in Brussels to describe how member states should align their policies.
Use with 'Afin de'
To sound truly C1, pair this phrase with 'afin de' or 'en vue de' to express the goal. 'Conjuguons nos efforts afin de stabiliser le marché.'
Plural only!
Never say 'conjuguer l'effort'. It sounds like you are trying to conjugate a single attempt, which makes no sense.
