Allégeons

Allégeons is the first-person plural present indicative form of the French verb alléger, meaning “we lighten” or, in a hortative use, “let us lighten.” In everyday use it expresses the action of reducing weight, burden, or severity of something. In political and public discourse it is commonly deployed in slogans and reform proposals to advocate lowering taxes, administrative burdens, or regulatory constraints, often in phrases like “Allégeons les impôts” or “Allégeons les formalités.”

Grammatical notes: The form is built from the stem allèg- plus the endings of the present tense for the pronoun nous. Pronunciation is typically [a.le.ʒɔ̃]. Other present-tense forms of alléger include je allège, tu allèges, il allège, vous allég ez, ils allègent.

Usage and nuance: Allégeons can function as a straightforward description (“Nous allégeons le budget”) or as an exhortation in policy discourse (“Allégeons les charges pesant sur les familles”). It conveys reducing a burden rather than removing it entirely, and it is often found in discussions about fiscal policy, bureaucratic simplification, or social regulation.

See also: alléger; impôt; charge (burden); formalité administrative.

Note: Allégeons is not a proper noun or name; it is a grammatical form used in both neutral description and persuasive rhetoric.
