Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb débouder
Introduction to the verb débouder
The English translation of the French verb débouder is “to unbolt” or “to unfasten.” It is pronounced as “day-boo-day” in its infinitive form.
The term débouder comes from the combination of the prefix “dé” meaning “un” or “de” and the verb “bouder” meaning “to sulk.” The literal meaning of débouder is to stop sulking or to remove oneself from sulking. However, in everyday French usage, débouder is most often used to mean to unfasten or loosen something.
In the Subjonctif Présent tense, débouder is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain action. Here are three examples:
- Il faut que tu débondes le boulon avant de continuer. (It is necessary that you unbolt the bolt before continuing.)
- Je doute qu’il puisse débouder cette porte. (I doubt that he can unfasten this door.)
- Il est possible qu’elle ne puisse pas débouder le coffre. (It is possible that she cannot unfasten the trunk.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Présent tense is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain action that may or may not happen. The English translations also use the subjunctive form to convey the same meaning.
