Introduction to the verb bostonner
The English translation of the French verb bostonner is “to play boston” or “to play the game of boston.” It is pronounced as “bo-ston-eh” in the infinitive form.
The word bostonner comes from the card game “Boston,” which originated in the United States in the late 19th century. It was popularized in France in the early 20th century and became a common pastime in social gatherings and clubs.
In everyday French, bostonner is often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express a past wish or desire. This tense is used to talk about actions that were desired or hoped for in the past but did not actually happen.
Here are three examples of bostonner used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense:
-
J’aurais aimé que tu aies bostonné avec nous hier soir. (I wish you had played boston with us last night.)
-
Il aurait fallu que nous ayons bostonné plus souvent quand nous étions jeunes. (We should have played boston more often when we were young.)
-
Je regrette que vous ayez bostonné sans moi. (I regret that you played boston without me.)
In these examples, bostonner is used to express a past wish or regret, indicating that the action of playing boston did not occur.
