Introduction to the verb dépareiller
The English translation of the French verb dépareiller is “to mismatch” or “to not match”. It is pronounced as “deh-pah-ray-yay”.
Dépareiller is derived from the French prefix “dé-” which means “apart” or “away” and the word “pareil” which means “equal” or “same”. It is most often used in everyday French to describe a mismatch or lack of harmony between two things.
In the Plus-que-parfait tense, dépareiller is used to describe an action that had not been matched or had not been in harmony with another action in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the imparfait tense followed by the past participle “dépareillé”.
