Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb enchatonner
Introduction to the verb enchatonner
The English translation of the French verb enchatonner is “to fit in,” “to insert,” or “to place in.” It is pronounced as “ah-shah-toh-nay.”
Enchatonner is derived from the Old French word “enchatonner,” which means “to fit in” or “to insert.” It comes from the prefix “en-” which means “in” or “into,” and the noun “chaton” which refers to a gemstone or precious stone. In everyday French, enchatonner is used mainly in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express a past action that is hypothetical or uncertain. It is often used in formal or literary contexts.
Here are three simple examples of enchatonner in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense:
- J’avais enchatonné la pierre avant que le bijoutier ne la colle. (I had fit the stone in before the jeweler glued it.)
- Tu avais enchatonné les perles dans le collier si délicatement que je n’ai pas osé les toucher. (You had inserted the pearls in the necklace so delicately that I didn’t dare touch them.)
- Il avait enchatonné le diamant dans la bague avec soin pour la remettre à sa bien-aimée. (He had placed the diamond in the ring carefully to give it to his beloved.)
In each of these examples, the action of enchatonner is presented as being completed prior to another past action, and is used in a hypothetical or uncertain context. In English, this is often translated using the past perfect tense.
