Remîtes

Remîtes is the second-person plural form of the passé simple conjugation of the French verb remettre. It denotes a past action of putting back, restoring, or rescheduling, depending on context. In modern French, the passé simple is mainly used in literary writing, so remîtes is rarely used in everyday speech but may appear in novels, historical narratives, or formal chronicles.

Morphology and forms: Remettre is a regular -re verb, and in the passé simple the endings are -is, -is, -it, -îmes, -îtes, -irent. The full set for remettre is: je remis, tu remis, il remit, nous remîmes, vous remîtes, ils remirent. The form remîtes specifically corresponds to the second-person plural.

Usage and context: Remîtes would be encountered when narrating actions completed in the past addressed to “you” (plural) in a literary past tense. It is not used in everyday speech except in archaic or stylized registers. For example: Vous remîtes les objets à leur place avant de quitter la pièce.

Notes: The term remîtes does not function as an independent lexical entry outside its grammatical role; it is a historical or literary conjugation form rather than a separate word with its own meaning. In modern prose, the passé composé or other tenses would more commonly convey similar meaning, while remîtes remains primarily of interest for linguistic study of French verb inflection.
