Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb rabibocher
Introduction to the verb rabibocher
The English translation of the French verb rabibocher is “to patch things up” or “to reconcile.” It is pronounced “ra-bee-bo-shay,” with the stress on the last syllable.
The verb rabibocher is derived from the word “bibouche,” which means “slipper” in French. It is said that in the 19th century, couples who were arguing or on the verge of breaking up would throw their slippers at each other as a symbol of their anger. Later, when they made up, they would “patch things up” and “reconcile,” hence the origin of the verb rabibocher.
Rabibocher is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Présent tense, which is used to express doubt, emotion, or subjectivity. It is commonly used in situations where one desires or hopes for a reconciliation or resolution.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in the Subjonctif Présent tense, along with their English translations:
- J’espère que tu te rabiboches avec ton frère. (I hope you reconcile with your brother.)
- Il faut que nous nous rabibochions avant la fête de famille. (We need to patch things up before the family gathering.)
- Je préfère que vous vous rabibochiez rapidement. (I would prefer if you would reconcile quickly.)
In each of these examples, the speaker is expressing a desire or hope for a reconciliation between two parties. The use of the Subjonctif Présent tense adds a sense of subjectivity and emotion to the statements.
