Introduction to the verb envoiler
The English translation of the French verb envoiler is “to wrap” or “to envelop.” It can also mean “to cover” or “to shroud.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “ahn-vwah-lay.”
Envoiler comes from the Middle French word “envoilier,” which is derived from the Old French word “envoil,” meaning “to cover with a veil” or “to hide.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Passé Composé tense, which is the equivalent of the present perfect tense in English.
In the Passé Composé tense, envoiler is used to describe an action that was completed in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb avoir or être in the present tense, followed by the past participle envoilé.
Here are three simple examples of envoiler in the Passé Composé tense with their English translations:
- J’ai envoilé le cadeau avec du papier cadeau. (I wrapped the gift with wrapping paper.)
- Elle s’est envoilée dans son châle pour se protéger du froid. (She wrapped herself in her shawl to protect herself from the cold.)
- Nous avons envoilé nos enfants dans des couvertures pour qu’ils puissent dormir dans la voiture. (We wrapped our children in blankets so they could sleep in the car.)
Overall, envoiler is a versatile verb that is commonly used to describe actions of covering, wrapping, or enveloping in the past tense. Its origin from the word “envoil” also adds connotations of hiding or concealing, which can add more depth to its usage in everyday French.
