Emportes

Emportes is the second-person singular present indicative form of the French verb emporter, meaning to carry away or to take along. It is used with a subject you (tu) and appears in sentences such as "Tu emportes ton sac lorsque tu pars." Emporter is transitive and typically requires a direct object, as in "emporter quelque chose" (to take something with you).

The verb emporter derives from the Latin portare with the prefixed em- (moving away). In modern French, its common variants include j’emporte, tu emportes, il emporte, nous emportons, vous emportez, ils emportent. Other forms exist for different tenses and moods, such as emportais, emportait, emportais, emportant, emporterez, and the past participle emporté. The present participle is emportant, and the past participle is emporté.

A notable phrase related to emporter is à emporter, which means foods or goods prepared to be taken away rather than consumed on the premises. This expression is widely used in cafés, bakeries, and restaurants to indicate take-out options.

Emportes functions strictly as a verb form in standard French; it is not used as a separate noun in common usage. While it can theoretically appear in poetic or formal contexts as part of a full sentence, there is no widely recognized independent meaning or widely used proper noun associated with the term.
