Transfères

Transfères is the second-person singular present indicative form of the French verb transférer, meaning to move, send, or relocate something from one place to another. The same spelling is also used in the present subjunctive (que tu transfères). The verb conjugates with a small spelling variation in the singular forms, where the stem carries an è (transfère, transfères) while other forms use different accents or endings (il transfère, nous transférons, vous transférez, ils transfèrent). Transfères is not used as a standalone noun; the related noun for the concept is transfert (or transferts in the plural).

Etymology and overview: transférer derives from Latin transferre, through Old French, and is part of the regular -er verb family in many forms, though it features a stem vowel change in the singular present tenses. The noun transfert denotes the act or instance of transferring, and transferts is its plural.

Usage notes: The form transfères appears in everyday French when speaking to someone informally, as in technology, finance, or logistics contexts, for example: “tu transfères des fichiers sur le serveur,” or “tu transfères des fonds entre comptes.” The imperative for the tu subject is typically transfère (without s), while the vous form is transférez. In compound tenses, the past participle is transféré (masculine) or transférée (feminine).

In summary, transfères occupies a specific grammatical role as a verb form rather than a standalone noun, reflecting the broader concept of transferring or moving items or data.
