Introduction to the verb ajourer
The English translation of the French verb ajourer is “to pierce” or “to make openings.” It is pronounced ah-zhoor-ay.
Ajourer comes from the Old French word “ajorrer,” which means “to unplug” or “to make a hole.” It is derived from the Latin word “ad” meaning “to” and “jūra” meaning “door,” which evolved into the Middle French word “ajorre” meaning “to pierce a door.”
In everyday French, ajourer is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express a hypothetical action that would have been completed before another past action. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Subjonctif Imparfait, followed by the past participle of the main verb.
