Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb dédramatiser
Introduction to the verb dédramatiser
The English translation of the French verb dédramatiser is “to downplay” or “to de-dramatize.” The infinitive form is pronounced “day-drah-mah-tee-zay.”
Dédramatiser is derived from the French word “drame,” which comes from the Greek word “drama” meaning “action” or “plot.” The prefix “de-” indicates a reversal or removal, so dédramatiser literally means “to remove the drama” or “to make less dramatic.”
In everyday French, dédramatiser is often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express a hypothetical or unrealized action in the past. It is typically used after a conjunction such as “si” (if) or “quand” (when).
- Si j’avais su, j’aurais dédramatisé la situation. (If I had known, I would have downplayed the situation.)
- Quand elle avait commencé à paniquer, je l’ai dédramatisée en lui disant que tout allait bien se passer. (When she started to panic, I downplayed the situation by telling her everything would be fine.)
- J’aurais aimé que tu dédramatises la situation avant que les choses ne deviennent incontrôlables. (I wish you had de-dramatized the situation before things became out of control.)
