Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb démarabouter
Introduction to the verb démarabouter
The English translation of the French verb démarabouter is “to unhook” or “to unfasten.” It is pronounced as “day-ma-ra-bu-tay” in its infinitive form.
The word démarabouter is a combination of two words: “dé-” which means “undo” or “un-” and “marabout” which refers to a Muslim holy man or sorcerer. In the French language, the word “marabout” can also mean a type of charm or amulet. Therefore, démarabouter can be interpreted as “undoing a charm” or “breaking the spell.”
In everyday French, démarabouter is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is used to describe a completed event that happened before another past event. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the passé simple tense and adding the past participle of the verb.
Here are 3 examples of démarabouter used in the Passé Antérieur tense:
- J’ai démarabouté le collier qui ne voulait pas s’ouvrir. (I unhooked the necklace that wouldn’t open.)
- Nous avons démarabouté le sort jeté sur notre village. (We broke the spell cast on our village.)
- Tu as démarabouté la serrure pour que nous puissions entrer. (You unfastened the lock so we could enter.)
In these examples, démarabouter is used to describe an action that was completed before another past event, such as opening a necklace, breaking a spell, or unlocking a door.
