Introduction to the verb emplumer
The English translation of the French verb emplumer is “to pluck” or “to feather.” It is pronounced “ahm-plew-may.”
The word emplumer comes from the Latin word “plumare,” meaning “to decorate with feathers.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past subjunctive tense. This tense is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain action that took place before another past action.

- Elle souhaitait que je lui aie emplumé les ailes de son costume d’ange. (She wished for me to have feathered the wings of her angel costume.)
In all of these examples, the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is used to express a past action that may or may not have taken place, before another past action. The verb emplumer is conjugated in the third person singular (il/elle/on) and first person plural (nous) forms.
