Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb bichonner
Introduction to the verb bichonner
The English translation of the French verb bichonner is “to pamper” or “to fuss over”. The infinitive form is pronounced “bee-sho-nay”.
The word bichonner comes from the noun bichon, which refers to a small breed of fluffy dog that was popular in France during the 18th century. Bichonner has evolved from its original meaning of grooming and taking care of these dogs to describe the act of pampering or fussing over someone or something.
In everyday French, bichonner is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express actions that are hypothetical or uncertain in the past. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the imperfect tense, followed by the past participle of the verb.
Examples:
- Il aurait fallu que je bichonne mon mari avant qu’il ne devienne malade. (I should have pampered my husband before he got sick.)
- Elle regretta que sa mère ne l’ait pas bichonnée quand elle était jeune. (She regretted that her mother didn’t fuss over her when she was young.)
- Nous aurions aimé que notre patron nous bichonne plus souvent. (We would have liked our boss to pamper us more often.)
