Introduction to the verb planquer
The English translation of the French verb planquer is “to hide” or “to stash.” The infinitive form of the verb is pronounced “plahn-keh.”
Planquer comes from the Old French word “planchier” meaning “to make a floor.” It also has roots in the Latin word “planca” which means “board.” Over time, the word evolved to mean “to hide or conceal something,” likely referring to hiding objects under a floor or board.
In everyday French, planquer is most often used in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense. This tense is used to talk about an action that had already been completed before another past action. For example:

-
Ils avaient planqué les cadeaux de Noël dans le placard avant l’arrivée des enfants. (They had stashed the Christmas presents in the closet before the arrival of the children.)
-
Elle avait planqué les clés de la voiture dans le tiroir avant de partir au travail. (She had hidden the car keys in the drawer before leaving for work.)
In these examples, the action of hiding had already been completed before the other past events (going on vacation, the arrival of the children, and leaving for work).
In conclusion, planquer is a common French verb meaning “to hide” or “to stash.” It is most often used in the Plus-que-parfait tense to talk about past actions that had already been completed before other past events.
