Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb aviser
Introduction to the verb aviser
The English translation of the French verb aviser is “to advise” or “to inform.” The infinitive form of aviser is pronounced “ah-vee-zay.”
The word aviser comes from the Latin “advisum,” meaning “to see” or “to consider.” It entered the French language in the 12th century and originally meant “to see with attention” or “to observe.” Over time, it evolved to also mean “to warn” or “to notify.”
In everyday French, aviser is most commonly used in the plus-que-parfait tense, which corresponds to the past perfect tense in English. This tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action.
Here are three simple examples of aviser in the plus-que-parfait tense:
-

-

-
Nous avions avisé nos parents que nous arriverions en retard. (We had notified our parents that we would arrive late.)
In these examples, aviser is used to indicate that an action was completed before another past action. In English, this is expressed with the past perfect tense (had + past participle).
