Introduction to the verb démastiquer
The English translation of the French verb démastiquer is “to chew off” or “to nibble at.” It is pronounced as “day-mahs-tee-kay.”
Démastiquer comes from the French word “mastic,” which means “chewing gum” or “gum resin.” The prefix “dé-” means “off” or “away,” and the suffix “-er” indicates it is an infinitive verb form.
In everyday French, démastiquer is often used in the Futur Proche (near future) tense to talk about actions that will happen soon. This tense is formed by conjugating the verb “aller” (to go) in the present tense, followed by the infinitive form of the verb. For example:
- Je vais démastiquer un chewing-gum. (I am going to chew off a piece of gum.)
- Tu vas démastiquer ta manche si tu continues à la mordiller. (You are going to chew off your sleeve if you keep nibbling on it.)
- Ils vont démastiquer tous les bonbons du paquet. (They are going to chew off all the candies in the package.)
In these examples, the verb démastiquer is used to talk about the action of chewing off or nibbling at something. It is often used in a playful or casual tone, as it is a colloquial verb. Its meaning can also extend to removing or stripping something, depending on the context.
