jétablissais

Jétablissais is a French verb conjugation. It is the first-person singular imperfect indicative form of the verb "établir," which means "to establish," "to set up," or "to found." The imperfect tense in French is used to describe ongoing or habitual actions in the past, or to set the scene for a past event. Therefore, "j'établissais" translates to "I was establishing," "I used to establish," or "I established" (in the sense of a continuous or habitual action in the past).

For example, one might say "J'établissais mon entreprise quand la crise a commencé," meaning "I was establishing my business when the crisis began." This sentence uses "j'établissais" to describe an action that was in progress at a particular time in the past. Another example could be "Quand j'étais enfant, j'établissais des forts de neige," meaning "When I was a child, I used to build snow forts." Here, the imperfect tense indicates a habitual or repeated action in the past. The verb "établir" itself is derived from the Latin "stabilire," meaning "to make stable." Its conjugation in the imperfect tense for the first-person singular is a common grammatical point for French learners.
