Introduction to the verb duveter
The English translation of the French verb duveter is “to fluff up” or “to plump up.” It is pronounced as [d(y)u.və.te].
Duveter comes from the Old French word “duvet,” meaning “down” or “soft feathers.” It was originally used to refer to the action of plucking feathers from a bird’s skin. In modern French, it has taken on a metaphorical meaning of “fluffing up” or “making something fuller or fluffier.”
In everyday French, duveter is often used in the L’impératif Présent (present imperative) tense, which is used to give commands or make requests. Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense:
- Duvetez les coussins avant que les invités arrivent. (Fluff up the cushions before the guests arrive.)
- N’oubliez pas de duveter les oreillers tous les matins. (Don’t forget to plump up the pillows every morning.)
- Duvetez votre manteau avant de le mettre. (Plump up your coat before putting it on.)
In each of these examples, duveter is used to refer to the action of fluffing up or making something fuller and more comfortable. It is a commonly used verb in everyday French and is often used in household tasks or when preparing for guests.
