Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb désaltérer
Introduction to the verb désaltérer
The English translation of the French verb désaltérer is “to quench one’s thirst.” It is pronounced as “day-zal-tay-ray.”
The language origin of désaltérer comes from the combination of the prefix “dé” which means “undo” and the verb “altérer” which means “to alter.” In everyday French, désaltérer is often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense to express a past hypothetical action that has already been completed.
Three examples of its usage in this tense are:
- J’aurais aimé que tu désaltères ta soif avant de partir. (I wish you had quenched your thirst before leaving.)
- Il est nécessaire que nous ayons désaltéré nos invités avant de commencer le dîner. (It is necessary that we quenched our guests’ thirst before starting dinner.)
- Elle aurait voulu que je lui dise où elle aurait pu désaltérer son chien. (She would have liked me to tell her where she could have quenched her dog’s thirst.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Passé tense is used to express a hypothetical or imagined past action. The use of the verb désaltérer in this tense emphasizes the idea of quenching one’s thirst, even though the action may not have actually taken place.
