transiger
French
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Learned borrowing from Latin transigō.
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]transiger
- to compromise
Conjugation
[edit]This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written transige- before endings that begin with -a- or -o- (to indicate that the -g- is a "soft" /ʒ/ and not a "hard" /ɡ/). This spelling change occurs in all verbs in -ger, such as neiger and manger.
