L’infinitif Présent (Infinitive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb défarder
Introduction to the verb défarder
The English translation of the French verb défarder is “to untangle” or “to unknot.” It is pronounced as “deh-far-day.”
Défarder comes from the Old French word “desfarder,” which means “to undo.” It is composed of the prefix “de-” (meaning “undo”) and the word “fard” (meaning “knot”).
In everyday French, défarder is most commonly used in the L’infinitif Présent tense (present infinitive tense) as a reflexive verb. This means that the subject of the sentence is also the object, and the action is being done to oneself.
Three simple examples of défarder in the L’infinitif Présent tense are:
- Je me défarder les cheveux tous les matins. (I untangle my hair every morning.)
- Nous devons nous défarder avant d’aller dormir. (We need to untangle before going to sleep.)
- Elles se défardent mutuellement les fils de laine. (They are untangling each other’s wool threads.)
In these examples, the subject (je, nous, elles) is also the object (me, nous, elles), and the action of untangling is being done to oneself (my hair, ourselves, each other).
