Passé Simple (Simple Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déparler
Introduction to the verb déparler
The English translation of the French verb déparler is “to unspeak.” The infinitive form of déparler is pronounced as “day-par-lay.”
Déparler is a compound verb composed of the prefix “dé-” (indicating the reversal or undoing of an action) and the verb “parler” (to speak). It primarily originates from the Latin word “disparabolare,” which means to deny or retract what has been said.
In everyday French, the Passé Simple tense is rarely used in spoken language but is commonly found in written texts, literature, or formal contexts.
