Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb friser
Introduction to the verb friser
The English translation of the French verb friser is “to curl.” It is pronounced “free-zay” in its infinitive form.
The origin of friser can be traced back to the Latin word “frigere,” meaning “to be cold.” In Old French, it evolved into “frisier,” which meant “to make curly or frizzy.” The modern meaning of “to curl” emerged in the 16th century.
In everyday French, friser is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is used to express an action that is completed before another action in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the imperfect subjunctive, followed by the past participle of the verb.
