Introduction to the verb décalaminer
The English translation of the French verb décalaminer is “to decarbonize.” The infinitive form, décalaminer, is pronounced as “dey-kah-lah-mee-nay.”
Décalaminer is derived from the combination of two words: dé- (a prefix indicating removal or undoing) and calamine (a substance made of zinc carbonate). In everyday French, décalaminer is most often used in the Passé Simple tense to describe past actions or events that are completed and no longer ongoing.
