Introduction to the verb désentraver
The English translation of the French verb désentraver is “to unblock” or “to remove obstacles”. It is pronounced “day-zahn-trah-vay”.
Désentraver comes from the Old French word “entraver” meaning “to impede” or “to hinder”. The prefix “dés-” adds a meaning of “undoing” or “removing”. It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which is a mood used to express doubt, possibility, or subjectivity.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in the Subjonctif Passé tense:
- Il est possible que nous ayons désentravé les canalisations hier. (It is possible that we unblocked the pipes yesterday.)
- Je doute qu’il ait désentravé toutes les portes. (I doubt that he unblocked all the doors.)
- Il fallait que tu aies désentravé ces papiers avant de les envoyer. (You needed to unblock these papers before sending them.)
In these examples, the verb désentraver is used to express a past action that may or may not have happened. It conveys a sense of uncertainty or doubt, which is why it is used in the Subjonctif Passé tense.
