Démarres

Démarres is a French verb form. It is the second-person singular present indicative of the verb démarrer, meaning to start or to begin. It is not a standalone noun and does not function as a separate lexical entry outside a conjugated sentence.

In the present tense, the full set of conjugations for démarrer is: je démarre, tu démarres, il démarre, nous démarrons, vous démarrez, ils démarrent. The form dém arres is the familiar you start: used with the subject pronoun “tu” in everyday speech. For example: Tu démarres le moteur. For comparison, the imperative mood uses a different form: Démarre le moteur (without the final s in the tu- imperative).

Usage and nuance: Démarres appears in contexts where a speaker is describing that someone is beginning to operate or initiate something. It can refer to starting a vehicle, a computer program, a process, or an activity. In written French, it is common in narrative or dialogue to express actions in progress or routine actions by a familiar subject.

Notes: Démarrer is a regular -er verb, and its present tense forms follow the standard pattern for this class. The accent on the first é (démarrer, démarré) helps distinguish the verb from related forms. Because démare-s is a verb form, it typically appears with a subject pronoun or is cliticized with an object in a sentence, rather than standing alone.
