Soumettent

Soumettent is a French verb form derived from soumettre. It is the third-person plural present tense form used in both the present indicative and the present subjunctive, depending on the syntactic context. As a present indicative form, it means “they submit” or “they subject.” In the present subjunctive, it appears in phrases like que ils soumettent, where the mood expresses necessity, possibility, or under certain conditions.

The base verb soumettre means to submit, to place under, or to subject to a condition or examination.

The related noun is soumission (submission), and the adjective is soumis (subjected or submitted).

Etymology and related forms: soumettre comes from Latin submittĕre, literally “to put under” (sub- under + mittere to send). This lineage links it to the English submit and the noun submission. The past participle is soumis, and other related forms include submettant in compound constructions or soumette/soumettions in the present subjunctive for different subjects.
