Introduction to the verb fêler
The English translation of the French verb fêler is “to crack” or “to fracture.” It is pronounced as “fay-lay.”
The language origin of fêler can be traced back to the Latin word “fissāre,” meaning “to split” or “to cleave.” In everyday French, fêler is commonly used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is a compound tense formed by combining the subjunctive tense of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” with the past participle of the main verb. This tense is used to express a past action that is uncertain or hypothetical.
Here are three simple examples of fêler used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense:

- Nous aurions été en retard si le pneu n’avait pas fêlé. (We would have been late if the tire had not cracked.)
- Il était dommage que tu eusses fêlé la fenêtre. (It was a shame that you had cracked the window.)
In these examples, the verb fêler is conjugated in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express a past action that may or may not have taken place. The English translations also use the past tense to convey the same idea of uncertainty or hypothesis.
