Introduction to the verb empanacher
The English translation of the French verb empanacher is “to adorn with feathers” or “to plume.” It is pronounced as “ahm-pah-nah-shay” in its infinitive form.
The word empanacher is derived from the Latin word “pannus,” meaning “cloth” or “feather,” and the prefix “en,” meaning “in” or “on.” In everyday French, empanacher is most commonly used in its past tense form, the Plus-que-parfait tense, which expresses an action that had already been completed before another past action.
Examples of empanacher in the Plus-que-parfait tense are:
- J’avais empanaché mon chapeau avant d’aller à la parade. (I had adorned my hat with feathers before going to the parade.)
- Il avait empanaché son costume de carnaval avec des plumes multicolores. (He had plumed his carnival costume with colorful feathers.)
- Les danseurs avaient empanaché leurs coiffes pour la cérémonie traditionnelle. (The dancers had adorned their headdresses for the traditional ceremony.)
In these examples, empanacher is used to describe an action that had already been completed in the past, before another past action took place. In each case, the verb is followed by a direct object (chapeau, costume, coiffes) to indicate what was adorned with feathers.
