Introduction to the verb bégueter
The English translation of the French verb bégueter is “to babble” or “to prattle”. It is pronounced as “beh-get-ay”.
The word bégueter comes from the Old French word “begue”, which means “stammer” or “stutter”. It is most often used in everyday French in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense.
Examples of its usage in the Plus-que-parfait tense are as follows:
- J’avais bégueté toute la journée. (I had babbled all day.)
- Tu avais bégueté pendant des heures sans t’arrêter. (You had prattled for hours without stopping.)
- Elle avait bégueté depuis son réveil jusqu’à ce que sa mère la fasse taire. (She had been babbling since she woke up until her mother told her to be quiet.)
In each of these examples, the verb bégueter is used in the Plus-que-parfait tense to indicate an action that had already been completed before a past event or time. In English, this tense is expressed using “had” + past participle, while in French it is formed with the auxiliary verb “avoir” (to have) in the imperfect tense followed by the past participle of the verb.
