Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb nanifier
Introduction to the verb nanifier
The English translation of the French verb nanifier is “to shrink.” The infinitive form is pronounced “nah-nee-fee-ay.”
The term nanifier is derived from the French word “nanisme,” meaning dwarfism. It is most commonly used in everyday French in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense:
-
J’avais nanifié mes vêtements pour les donner à mon petit frère. (I had shrunk my clothes to give them to my little brother.)
-
Elle s’était nanifiée en une petite forme pour se faufiler à travers la porte. (She had shrunk into a small form to sneak through the door.)
-
Ils avaient nanifié leur maison en construisant une extension. (They had shrunk their house by building an extension.)
In these examples, we can see that the Plus-que-parfait tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action. In each sentence, the subject had already finished shrinking something before something else happened.
