Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb chiader
Introduction to the verb chiader
The English translation of the French verb chiader is “to work hard” or “to put effort into something”. It is pronounced “shee-a-day”.
The word chiader is derived from the Latin word “cadiare”, meaning “to take care of”. In everyday French, it is most often used in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense. This tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action.
Some examples of its usage in the Plus-que-parfait tense are:
-
J’avais chiadé toute la journée avant le dîner. (I had worked hard all day before dinner.)
-
Elle avait chiadé ses devoirs avant de sortir. (She had put effort into her homework before going out.)
-
Nous avions chiadé le projet pendant plusieurs semaines avant de le présenter. (We had worked hard on the project for several weeks before presenting it.)
In all of these examples, the action of “working hard” was completed before another past action (dinner, going out, presenting the project). The Plus-que-parfait tense gives a sense of past completion to the action.
