Introduction to the verb décoller
The English translation of the French verb décoller is “to take off” or “to unstick”. It is pronounced “day-koh-lay” in the infinitive form.
Décoller comes from the French words “dé-” meaning “off” and “coller” meaning “to stick”. It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense, which is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain action in the past. This tense is formed by using the imperfect tense of the helping verb “avoir” or “être” followed by the past participle of the main verb (in this case, décollé).

- J’aurais aimé que tu décollasse plus tôt. (I wish you had taken off earlier.)
