Gémit

Gémit is a French verb that translates to "to groan" or "to moan" in English. It is primarily used to describe the sound of physical pain, discomfort, or distress. For example, someone might gémit if they have a headache or if they stub their toe. The verb can also be used to express a more general sense of suffering or complaint, such as groaning in frustration or moaning about a difficult task.

In some contexts, gémit can also describe the sound of inanimate objects, such as a door creaking or a ship groaning under strain. This usage is less common than its application to human sounds.

The conjugation of gémit follows the regular pattern for -ir verbs in French. The present tense first-person singular is "je gémis," meaning "I groan." Other conjugations include "tu gémis" (you groan), "il/elle/on gémit" (he/she/one groans), "nous gémissons" (we groan), "vous gémissez" (you groan), and "ils/elles gémissent" (they groan). The past participle is "gémi."

The word can also be used as a noun, "un gémissement," meaning a groan or moan. This noun refers to the sound itself rather than the action of making the sound.
