Introduction to the verb dédramatiser
The English translation of the French verb dédramatiser is “to put things into perspective” or “to take the drama out of”.
The infinitive form of dédramatiser is pronounced “day-drah-mah-tee-zay”.
The word dédramatiser comes from the French word “dramatiser” which means “to dramatize”. The prefix “dé-” means “to undo”, so dédramatiser literally translates to “to undo the drama”. It is a relatively new word in the French language, first appearing in the early 20th century.

Examples:

- Nous aurions dû dédramatiser la situation avant que les choses ne dégénèrent. (We should have taken the drama out of the situation before things got out of hand.)
- Si tu avais dédramatisé un peu plus tôt, tu n’aurais pas été aussi stressé. (If you had put things into perspective earlier, you wouldn’t have been so stressed.)
