fourrager m (feminine singular fourragère, masculine plural fourragers, feminine plural fourragères)

Verb

fourrager

  1. (intransitive) to forage

Conjugation

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