Recommandes

Recommandes is a French term that primarily appears as a verb form rather than as a standalone noun. In standard French, it denotes the second-person singular present indicative of the verb recommander, as in the phrase tu recommandes, meaning you recommend. In written text, this form may appear without a space when presented in isolation as part of conjugation charts or language examples.

The verb recommander comes from Old French and ultimately from Latin commendare, with the prefix re- adding sense of repetition or emphasis: to commend again or to recommend. The common noun corresponding to the idea of giving advice or suggestions is recommandation, with the plural form recommandations.

Recommandes is not used as a standard noun in contemporary French. The standard noun for suggestions or guidance is recommandations. Because of this, the string recommand es can occasionally appear in discussions or texts about grammar as a verb form, rather than as a noun.

In usage, recommander generally takes a person or thing as its direct object: for example, Je te recommande ce livre (I recommend this book to you). When discussing recommendations in a general sense, one would use recommandations: Quelles sont vos recommandations? The form recommand es should be interpreted within its grammatical role as a verb conjugation, not as a separate lexical item.
