Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb hacher
Introduction to the verb hacher
The English translation of the French verb hacher is “to chop” or “to mince.” It is pronounced “ah-SHEH” in the infinitive form.
Hacher comes from the Old French word “hache,” meaning “axe,” and originally referred to the action of chopping with an axe. Over time, it evolved to mean any type of chopping or mincing, particularly in cooking.
In everyday French, hacher is most commonly used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which expresses a past action that would have occurred before another past action. For example, “If I had known, I would have chopped the onions” would be translated as “Si j’avais su, j’aurais haché les oignons.”
Here are three simple examples of hacher in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, with their English translations:
- J’avais haché les légumes avant que tu n’arrives. (I had chopped the vegetables before you arrived.)
- Il aurait préféré que tu aies haché les herbes plus finement. (He would have preferred if you had minced the herbs more finely.)
- Nous avions haché les noix pour la tarte avant de mettre la pâte. (We had chopped the nuts for the pie before putting in the crust.)
