Introduction to the verb dégivrer
The English translation of the French verb dégivrer is “to thaw” or “to defrost.” It is pronounced as “day-zhee-vray.”
The word dégivrer comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” meaning “undo” or “remove” and the word “givre” which means “frost.” Together, they indicate the action of removing frost or thawing something.

This tense is used to talk about actions that would have been completed in the past if certain conditions had been met.
