Introduction to the verb hâbler
The English translation of the French verb hâbler is “to boast” or “to brag.” It is pronounced as “ah-bleh.”
Hâbler comes from the Old French word “habler,” which means “to talk” or “to chat.” This word is derived from the Latin word “fabulari,” meaning “to tell a story.” In everyday French, hâbler is often used in its infinitive form followed by the preposition “de,” as in “hâbler de quelque chose,” which means “to boast about something.”
In the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, hâbler is used to express a hypothetical action that was completed before another hypothetical action in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” conjugated in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense, followed by the past participle of hâbler.
