Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb décauser
Introduction to the verb décauser
The English translation of the French verb décauser is “to chatter” or “to talk aimlessly.” It is pronounced as “day-ko-zay” in the infinitive form.
Décauser comes from the Latin word “delibrare,” meaning “to weigh” or “to deliberate.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which expresses a past action that was completed before another past action.
Examples:
- J’aurais aimé que tu aies décausé moins pendant la réunion. (I wish you hadn’t chattered so much during the meeting.)
- Il était évident que nous ayons décausé la nuit entière sans se rendre compte de l’heure. (It was obvious that we had chattered the whole night without realizing the time.)
- Avant qu’elle ne soit partie, elles avaient décausé de tout et de rien. (Before she left, they had chattered about everything and nothing.)
In these examples, décauser is used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express a past action (chattering) that was completed before another past action (the meeting, the night, and the departure).
