interroger
interroger
French
Verb
interroger
- (transitive) to question, interrogate
Conjugation
This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written interroge- 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.
