Introduction to the verb décapuchonner
The English translation of décapuchonner is “to uncork” or “to decap” (remove a cap or hood). The infinitive form is pronounced “day-kah-poo-sho-nay.”
Décapuchonner comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” (meaning “to remove”) and the word “capuchon” (meaning “hood” or “cap”).

- Nous avons décapuchonné les canettes de bière pour la fête. (We uncapped the beer cans for the party.)
- Ils ont décapuchonné leurs stylos avant de commencer le test. (They uncapped their pens before starting the test.)
