Introduction to the verb dégravoyer
The English translation of the French verb dégravoyer is “to dissuade” or “to discourage.” It is pronounced as “day-gra-vwah-yay” in its infinitive form.
The word dégravoyer originates from the combination of the prefix “dé-“, which can indicate a reversal of action, and the verb gravoyer, meaning “to sway” or “to influence.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is the literary past tense used to describe actions that occurred before another past action.
Here are three simple examples of dégravoyer used in the Passé Antérieur tense:
- J’eus dégravoyé mes parents d’acheter la maison. (I had dissuaded my parents from buying the house.)
- Il eut dégravoyé ses amis de faire cette chose dangereuse. (He had discouraged his friends from doing this dangerous thing.)
- Elle eut dégravoyé son frère de poursuivre cette carrière. (She had dissuaded her brother from pursuing this career.)
In all of these examples, dégravoyer is used in the Passé Antérieur tense to describe actions that occurred before another past action. It is often used in situations where someone tries to convince or persuade others not to do something. The verb can also be used in its reflexive form, se dégravoyer, meaning “to be dissuaded” or “to change one’s mind.”
