monter

== Dutch == === Etymology === Borrowed from German munter. === Pronunciation === === Adjective === monter (comparative monterder, superlative monterst) (of people) bright, cheerful, lively Synonym: opgewekt ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== → West Frisian: monter == French == === Etymology === Inherited from Middle French monter, from Old French monter, from Vulgar Latin *montāre, from Latin montem (“mountain”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /mɔ̃.te/ === Verb === monter to go up, to climb (go to a higher position) to ascend, go higher, go uphill, go upstairs to get on, get in (a vehicle) to rise (get to a higher figurative position (socially, or in a league/division etc.)) to stage, put on (a show) to ride (a horse) to mount (a horse) (transitive) to bring up, take up, put up, get up (lift or carry something to a higher position) to turn up, put up (increase the volume etc.) to raise (increase the level, price etc.) to put up (a tent) to assemble (put together) to string (an instrument) (cinematography) to edit (knitting) to cast on (stitches) ==== Usage notes ==== This verb uses the auxiliary verb avoir when used transitively (or with a transitive sense, even when the complement is omitted); otherwise (when it is intransitive), it uses être. Hence être is used to form the perfect tense when monter has the sense "go up, climb, ascend", while avoir is used when it has the senses "put on, stage", "ride", "bring up". ils sont montés dans la voiture ― they got into the car elles ont monté les valises dans la chambre ― they put the suitcases in the bedroom Although one can use "climb" in a transitive sense in English, in French, monter is an intransitive verb in this sense; thusly, a sentence like, "This mountain was climbed by many," becomes, "Beaucoup de personnes sont montés sur cette montagne." ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== → German: montieren Haitian Creole: monte → Dutch: monteren → Polish: montaż → Polish: montować → Swedish: montera === Further reading === “monter”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012 === Anagrams === mentor montre, montré == Luxembourgish == === Etymology === Probably via German munter from Old High German muntar. The form could also be inherited, provided that the Old High German -t- is unshifted due to the following -r- (as in bittar and wintar). The etymology of the Old High German word seems not to have been settled conclusively, although that preferred by Kluge/Seebold (2002) would yield Luxembourgish *monner.
