Introduction to the verb désenlacer
The English translation of the French verb désenlacer is “to untangle” or “to disentangle.” It is pronounced as [day-zahn-la-say] in its infinitive form.
Désenlacer is derived from the French words “dés” meaning “undo” and “enlacer” meaning “to entwine.” It is most often used in everyday French to describe the action of separating or untangling something that is entwined or tangled together.
In the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, désenlacer is used to express a past hypothetical or uncertain action that occurred before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the subjonctif imparfait tense before the past participle of désenlacer.
