Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déhouiller
Introduction to the verb déhouiller
The English translation of the French verb déhouiller is “to strip” or “to remove the skin.” It is pronounced as “day-wee-yay.”
Déhouiller comes from the Old French word “huile,” meaning “oil.” It originally referred to the process of extracting oil from olives or nuts, but over time its meaning evolved to include stripping or removing the skin or outer layer of something.
In everyday French, déhouiller is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express a hypothetical or hypothetical past action. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Plus-que-parfait tense followed by the past participle of the verb.
Example 1:
J’étais content que tu aies déhouillé les pommes avant de les couper.
(I was happy that you had peeled the apples before cutting them.)
Example 2:
Il aurait fallu que nous eussions déhouillé les carottes pour faire cette soupe.
(We should have peeled the carrots to make this soup.)
Example 3:
Si elle avait eu plus de temps, elle aurait déhouillé toutes les pommes de terre pour la purée.
(If she had had more time, she would have peeled all the potatoes for the mash.)
In all three examples, déhouiller is used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express a hypothetical or hypothetical past action. The English translations reflect the use of “would have” or “had” to convey the same meaning.
