Introduction to the verb déballonner
The English translation of the French verb déballonner is “to deflate” or “to take down” (a balloon or decoration). It is pronounced as “day-bah-loh-nay.”
Déballonner comes from the word “ballon,” meaning “balloon,” and the prefix “dé-“, which indicates an undoing or reversal of an action. It is most often used in everyday French in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which expresses a hypothetical action that would have taken place in the past.
Here are three simple examples of déballonner used in the Conditionnel Passé tense:
-
Si j’avais su qu’il pleuvrait, j’aurais déballonné les décorations plus tôt. (If I had known it would rain, I would have taken down the decorations earlier.)

-
Nous n’aurions pas eu de problèmes avec les ballons si nous les avions déballonnés avant de les mettre en place. (We wouldn’t have had any problems with the balloons if we had taken them down before setting them up.)
In each of these examples, the verb déballonner is used to express a hypothetical action that could have taken place in the past. The Conditionnel Passé tense allows for the expression of regret, doubt, or hypothetical situations in the past.
