Introduction to the verb arriser
The English translation of the French verb arriser is “to haul up” or “to hoist.” The infinitive form of arriser is pronounced “ah-ree-zay.”
Arriser is a term that originated from the nautical language of Old French and is still commonly used in everyday French in a maritime context. It is most often used in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense, which expresses a hypothetical or uncertain action in the past.
Here are three simple examples of arriser being used in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense:
- Il fallait que nous arrisions les voiles avant que la tempête n’éclate. (We had to haul up the sails before the storm broke out.)
- Je souhaitais que tu arrisasses le drapeau pour célébrer notre victoire. (I wished you would hoist the flag to celebrate our victory.)
- Les marins espéraient que le vent se calme avant d’arriser les ancres. (The sailors were hoping the wind would calm down before they hauled up the anchors.)
In each of these examples, the Subjonctif Imparfait tense is used to express a wish, obligation, or uncertainty in the past. The verb arriser is conjugated to match the subject and is followed by the appropriate auxiliary verb (avoir or être) in the imperfect tense.
