Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb endauber
Introduction to the verb endauber
The English translation of the French verb endauber is “to embroider.” It is pronounced as “ahn-doh-bay.”
The word “endauber” itself is derived from the Old French word “endaubier,” which comes from the Latin word “inludere,” meaning “to work into.” It is most commonly used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which expresses a hypothetical or uncertain action that takes place before another past action.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense, along with their English translations:
- J’avais peur qu’elle n’ait endaubé ma chemise avant la soirée. (I was afraid that she had embroidered my shirt before the evening.)
- Nous pensions qu’ils eussent endaubé les rideaux avant de les accrocher. (We thought that they had embroidered the curtains before hanging them up.)
- Il était possible que tu eusses endaubé ton nom sur la nappe. (It was possible that you had embroidered your name on the tablecloth.)
In each 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 use of “endauber” in this tense adds a sense of uncertainty or possibility to the sentences.
