Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb initialiser
Introduction to the verb initialiser
The English translation of the French verb initialiser is “to initialize.” It is pronounced as “ee-nee-see-a-lee-zay” in the infinitive form.
The word “initialiser” comes from the French word “initial,” which means “initial” or “starting.” It is derived from the Latin word “initialis,” which has the same meaning. In everyday French, initialiser is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which expresses actions that could have taken place before another past event.
Three simple examples of its usage in this tense are:
-
J’aurais aimé que tu aies initialisé le projet avant que je ne parte. (I wish you had initialized the project before I left.)
-
Il me semble qu’ils avaient initialisé leur compte bancaire avant de partir en vacances. (It seems like they had initialized their bank account before going on vacation.)
-
Nous aurions dû initialiser le système avant que la panne ne se produise. (We should have initialized the system before the breakdown occurred.)
These examples show the use of initialiser in the subjonctif plus-que-parfait to express actions that could have taken place before another past event. In English, this tense is equivalent to the past perfect subjunctive.
