Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb mandriner
Introduction to the verb mandriner
The English translation of the French verb mandriner is “to mock” or “to ridicule.” It is pronounced as “mon-dree-nay” in the infinitive form.
Mandriner comes from the word “mandrin,” which means “to make fun of” or “to tease” in old French. It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is a past tense used to express actions that were completed before another past action.
3 examples of its usage in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense are:
- J’avais mandriné mes amis avant qu’ils ne partent en vacances. (I had mocked my friends before they left for vacation.)
- Il était en colère parce qu’on avait mandriné son équipe avant le match. (He was angry because his team had been mocked before the game.)
- Nous étions arrivés en retard à la soirée et on nous avait mandrinés pour notre ponctualité. (We had arrived late to the party and were mocked for our punctuality.)
In these examples, the action of mocking (mandriner) had already been completed before the other past actions (friends leaving for vacation, team playing the game, arriving at the party). The Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is used to show this past sequence of events.
