Introduction to the verb dégonfler
The English translation of the French verb dégonfler is “to deflate” or “to let out air.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “day-gon-flay.”
Dégonfler comes from the prefix “dé-” meaning “down” or “away” and the verb “gonfler” meaning “to inflate” or “to fill up.” It can be traced back to the Latin word “inflare” meaning “to blow into.”

This tense is formed by using the subjunctive form of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” followed by the past participle of the main verb.
