Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb chialer
Introduction to the verb chialer
The English translation of the French verb chialer is “to cry” or “to whine.” The infinitive form is pronounced “shee-ah-lay.”
The word chialer comes from the Latin word “gela,” meaning “to weep.” It is most often used in colloquial or informal French to express crying or complaining in a dramatic or exaggerated manner. In the Passé Antérieur tense, which is a past tense used to describe an action that occurred before another past action, chialer conveys a sense of past tense, drama, and intensity.
Here are three simple examples of chialer used in the Passé Antérieur tense:
- Elle chiala dès qu’elle apprit la nouvelle. (She cried as soon as she heard the news.)
- J’ai chialé toute la nuit après avoir vu ce film triste. (I cried all night after watching that sad movie.)
- Les enfants ont chialé pendant des heures après avoir perdu leur jouet préféré. (The children cried for hours after losing their favorite toy.)
In all of these examples, chialer is used to convey a strong emotional reaction in the past. The verb is often used with adverbs such as “tout,” “beaucoup,” or “fort,” to emphasize the intensity of the crying or whining.
