Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb désenvenimer
Introduction to the verb désenvenimer
The English translation of the French verb désenvenimer is “to defuse” or “to calm down.” It is pronounced as “day-zahn-vuh-nee-may.”
Désenvenimer is a compound verb made up of “dés-” (meaning “undo” or “remove”) and “envenimer” (meaning “to poison” or “to aggravate”). It is derived from the Latin word “venenum” meaning “poison.”
In everyday French, désenvenimer is often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense to express a wish or a hypothetical situation that has already happened in the past. It is typically used to describe a situation where tensions or conflicts have been resolved.
Here are three examples of its usage in the Subjonctif Passé tense:
-
Il faut que nous ayons désenvenimé la situation avant qu’il ne soit trop tard. (We needed to have defused the situation before it was too late.)
-
J’espère que vous ayez réussi à désenvenimer le conflit entre vos amis. (I hope you were able to calm down the conflict between your friends.)
-
Il aurait fallu que tu aies désenvenimé la dispute au lieu de l’aggraver. (You should have defused the argument instead of aggravating it.)
In these examples, “que” is used before the verb to indicate the Subjonctif Passé tense. The English translations also use the past tense to express the same idea.
