Introduction to the verb déraisonner
The English translation of the French verb déraisonner is “to ramble” or “to talk nonsense.” It is pronounced as “day-ray-zoh-nay.”
Déraisonner is derived from the French word “raison” which means “reason.” It is composed of the prefix “dé-” which means “to undo” or “to take away,” and the root word “raison” which means “reason.” Therefore, déraisonner can be translated as “to undo reason” or “to talk without reason.”
In everyday French, déraisonner is most often used in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense. This tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another action in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the imparfait tense, followed by the past participle of the main verb.
