Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb filigraner
Introduction to the verb filigraner
The English translation of the French verb filigraner is “to filigree.” It is pronounced as “fee-lee-gra-neh.”
The word filigraner comes from the Italian “filigrana,” which translates to “filigree.” It is a combination of the Latin words “filum,” meaning “thread,” and “granum,” meaning “grain.”
In everyday French, filigraner is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past subjunctive tense. This tense is used to express a past action that is hypothetical or uncertain. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Imperfect Subjunctive, followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Example 1: J’aurais aimé que tu aies filigrané le collier. (I would have liked you to have filigreed the necklace.)
Example 2: Il est possible que nous ayons filigrané la boîte ensemble. (It is possible that we may have filigreed the box together.)
Example 3: Ils auraient préféré que j’aie filigrané le bracelet. (They would have preferred me to have filigreed the bracelet.)
In these examples, we can see that the verb filigraner is used to express a desired or preferred action in the past. In English, the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is often translated using the conditional tense, as in the first example, or the past perfect tense, as in the second and third examples.
