Dévoilez

Dévoilez is the second-person plural imperative form of the French verb dévoiler, meaning to unveil or reveal. It is used to address a group or to speak politely to more than one person, often in commands, requests, or promotional contexts.

Etymology and meaning: dévoiler derives from dé- (indicating removal or reversal) and voiler (to veil). Thus, dévoiler literally means to remove a veil and reveal what was hidden. Dévoilez, the imperative, directs others to perform the action of revealing.

Usage and nuances: The form is common in marketing, media, art, politics, and public communications to prompt disclosure of information, results, or identities. It can appear in slogans, press releases, or event announcements. In regular narrative French, non-imperative forms of the verb are used to describe revealing actions (for example, je dévoile, il dévoile, nous dévoilons). The corresponding tu-imperative form is dévoile (without the final s), while nous-imperatif is dévoilons.

Examples:

- Dévoilez les résultats lors de la conférence de presse.

- Dévoilez votre nouveau produit au public.

- Dévoilons les coulisses du projet dans le reportage.

See also: dévoiler, voiler, dévoilement. The term emphasizes the act of removing a veil or barrier to disclose information, fitting a range of formal, promotional, and journalistic contexts.
