figer

French

Etymology

From Latin fīgō.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /fi.ʒe/

Verb

figer

  1. to freeze
  2. (figuratively) to scare, to frighten

Conjugation

This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written fige- 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.
