Introduction to the verb emmancher
The English translation of the French verb emmancher is “to put on,” “to handle,” or “to attach.” It is pronounced as [eh-mahn-shay] in its infinitive form.
The word emmancher comes from the Old French word “manchier,” meaning “to put a handle on.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is a compound tense used to express a hypothetical or unreal action that occurred before another past action.
Example 1: J’aurais aimé que tu aies bien emmanché le couteau avant de le ranger. (I would have liked for you to have properly handled the knife before putting it away.)
Example 2: Il n’était pas sûr que nous ayons bien emmanché les roues de la voiture avant de partir. (He wasn’t sure if we had properly attached the car’s wheels before leaving.)
Example 3: Elle était contente que vous ayez bien emmanché les fleurs dans le vase. (She was happy that you had properly put the flowers in the vase.)
In these examples, emmancher is used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express a past action that may or may not have happened. In English, it is translated using the auxiliary verb “have” followed by the past participle form of the verb.
