L’infinitif Présent (Infinitive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb délainer
Introduction to the verb délainer
The English translation of the French verb délainer is “to pluck” or “to pluck the wool from”. The infinitive form of délainer is pronounced “day-lay-nay”.
Délainer comes from the root word “laine”, meaning “wool”, and the prefix “dé-“, which typically indicates removal or separation. Therefore, délainer literally means “to remove wool”, and is most commonly used in the context of shearing or removing wool from sheep.
In everyday French, the verb délainer is most often used in the L’infinitif Présent tense to describe an ongoing or habitual action. For example:
- Je vais souvent à la ferme pour délainer les moutons. (I often go to the farm to pluck the wool from the sheep.)
- Les bergers doivent délainer leurs moutons avant l’hiver. (The shepherds must shear their sheep before winter.)
- On peut utiliser une machine pour délainer les moutons plus rapidement. (You can use a machine to pluck the wool from the sheep faster.)
Note: In these examples, délainer is used reflexively (se délainer) when it refers to the action of plucking an animal’s wool. However, it can also be used transitively (délainer quelque chose) when referring to the act of removing wool from an object or surface.
In conclusion, délainer comes from a combination of the word “wool” and the prefix “dé-“, and is most commonly used in everyday French to describe the action of plucking wool from sheep or other wool-bearing animals.
