échanger

== French == === Etymology === Inherited from Old French eschangier, from Vulgar Latin *excambiāre (from Latin ex with Late Latin cambiāre). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /e.ʃɑ̃.ʒe/ === Verb === échanger to exchange, to swap ==== Conjugation ==== This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written échange- 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. ==== Related terms ==== échange === Further reading === “échanger”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012
