Introduction to the verb arborer
The English translation of the French verb arborer is “to display” or “to show off.” It is pronounced “ahr-boh-reh.”
“Arborer” comes from the Latin word “arbor,” meaning “tree.” In French, it is most often used in everyday language to describe displaying or showing off something, whether it be an object, an outfit, or a proud accomplishment.
In the Passé Antérieur tense, “arborer” is used to indicate an action that occurred before another past action. It is formed by conjugating the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the Passé Simple tense and adding the past participle of “arborer,” which is “arboré.”
