Introduction to the verb boustifailler
The English translation of the French verb boustifailler is “to feast” or “to gorge oneself”. It is pronounced “boo-stee-fye-yay”.
The language origin of boustifailler can be traced back to the Old French word “bouste” meaning “to make noise or disturbance” and “faille” meaning “to eat or consume”. It was first recorded in the 12th century and was used to describe the act of indulging in food and drink in a noisy and rowdy manner.
In everyday French, boustifailler is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is a literary tense used to describe completed actions that happened before another past action. It is formed by conjugating the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the passé simple tense followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Three examples of boustifailler in the Passé Antérieur tense are:
- Il boustifaille toute la journée avant d’aller à la fête hier soir. (He feasted all day before going to the party last night.)
- Nous avions boustifaille le délicieux repas avant de partir en vacances. (We had feasted on the delicious meal before leaving for vacation.)
- Les invités eurent boustifaille les délicieuses pâtisseries avant de partir. (The guests had feasted on the delicious pastries before leaving.)
In these examples, boustifailler is used to describe a completed action of indulging in food and drink before another past action. It conveys a sense of excess and gluttony.
