Introduction to the verb débarboter
Débarboter means “to disembark” or “to land” in English. It is pronounced as “deb-ar-bo-tay”.
The word débarboter comes from the combination of the prefix dé- which indicates a reversal of action, and the verb barboter, which means “to paddle” or “to splash”. Therefore, débarboter can be translated literally as “to un-paddle” or “to un-splash”.
In everyday French, débarboter is commonly used in the subjonctif plus-que-parfait tense to express an action that was supposed to happen in the past but did not occur. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “être” or “avoir” in the plus-que-parfait tense and adding the past participle of the main verb.
