Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb boustifailler
Introduction to the verb boustifailler
The English translation of the French verb boustifailler is “to feast” or “to binge”. It is pronounced as “boo-stee-fah-yay”.
The word boustifailler comes from the combination of two words: “bouster” meaning to eat a lot, and “taffe” meaning food. It originated in the Middle Ages and was used to describe a lavish and excessive feast.
In everyday French, boustifailler is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express a past action that was completed before another past action. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verbs “avoir” or “être” in the Imparfait tense, followed by the past participle of the verb. It is usually used in formal or literary contexts.
Here are three examples of boustifailler in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense:
- J’avais boustifaillé avant que mes invités n’arrivent. (I had feasted before my guests arrived.)
- Elle était partie pour l’étranger après qu’elle eût boustifaillé chez ses parents. (She had left for abroad after feasting at her parents’ house.)
- Nous avions boustifaillé toute la soirée avant que le restaurant ne ferme. (We had feasted all evening before the restaurant closed.)
In all of these examples, the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is used to indicate that boustifailler happened before another action or event in the past.
