Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb chouraver
Introduction to the verb chouraver
The English translation of the French verb chouraver is “to steal” or “to rob.” It is pronounced “shoo-rah-vay.”
The word chouraver comes from the French slang term “chour,” which means to steal, and the verb “raver,” which means to take. It is most often used in colloquial language and is considered a familiar term.
In everyday French, the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is used to express an action that took place before another action in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Imparfait tense followed by the past participle of the verb.
Here are three examples of chouraver in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense:
- J’avais chouravé tout son argent avant qu’il ne s’en rende compte. (I had stolen all his money before he realized it.)
- Elle était déjà partie après qu’il ait chouravé son sac à main. (She had already left after he had stolen her purse.)
- Nous avions chouravé des bonbons avant que la vendeuse ne nous remarque. (We had stolen some candies before the saleswoman noticed us.)
In all of these examples, the action of stealing (chouraver) took place before another past action. The Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is used to emphasize the past and hypothetical nature of the action.
