Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb marrer
Introduction to the verb marrer
The English translation of the French verb marrer is “to laugh”. It is pronounced “mah-ray”.
Marrer comes from the Old French verb “marer” which meant “to marinate” or “to soak”. Over time, the meaning shifted to “to be amused” or “to laugh”. In everyday French, marrer is used to describe the action of laughing, often in a casual or informal context.
