Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb irriter
Introduction to the verb irriter
The English translation of the French verb irriter is “to irritate.” It is pronounced as “ee-ree-tay” in its infinitive form.
The language origin of irriter can be traced back to the Latin word “irritare,” meaning “to excite” or “to provoke.” It entered the French language in the 15th century through the Old French word “irriter,” which also meant “to provoke.” Over time, the meaning evolved to include the sense of “to irritate” or “to annoy.”
In everyday French, irriter is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which expresses an action that would have been completed in the past, before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the Imparfait tense, followed by the past participle of irriter.
