Passé Simple (Simple Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb désaltérer
Introduction to the verb désaltérer
The English translation of the French verb désaltérer is “to quench one’s thirst” or “to refresh”. The infinitive form désaltérer is pronounced as “day-zal-teh-ray”.
The verb désaltérer is derived from the Latin word “exaltāre”, meaning “to elevate” or “to raise up”. In everyday French, désaltérer is commonly used in the infinitive or present tense to express the action of quenching one’s thirst or providing refreshment.
