Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déballer
Introduction to the verb déballer
The English translation of the French verb déballer is “to unpack.” The infinitive form, déballer, is pronounced as “day-bah-lay.”
Déballer comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” which indicates a reversal of action, and the noun “balle” which means “ball” or “bundle.” This gives déballer the literal meaning of “to undo a bundle” or “to unfold.”
In everyday French, déballer is most often used in the Passé Composé (Present Perfect) tense to describe an action that has been completed in the past. It is typically used when talking about unpacking something, but can also be used in a figurative sense to mean “to reveal” or “to disclose.”
