Introduction to the verb enivrer
The English translation of the French verb enivrer is “to intoxicate” or “to get drunk.” It is pronounced as “eh-nee-vray.”
Enivrer comes from the Latin word “inebriare” which also means “to intoxicate.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which expresses an action that is completed before another action in the past.
Three simple examples of its usage in this tense are:
- Il était temps que tu te sois enivré avant de commencer à conduire. (It was about time that you had gotten drunk before starting to drive.)
- J’avais peur qu’elle se soit enivrée seule à la soirée. (I was afraid that she had gotten drunk alone at the party.)
- Nous aurions préféré que vous ne vous soyez pas enivrés pendant le dîner. (We would have preferred that you hadn’t gotten drunk during dinner.)
In all of these examples, enivrer is used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express an action that happened before another past action.
