Transmettent

Transmettent is the third-person plural present indicative form of the French verb transmettre, meaning to transmit or to convey. It is used when the subject is plural (they). The corresponding forms for other persons include je transmets, tu transmets, il transmet, nous transmettons, vous transmettez, and ils transmettent.

In usage, transmettent appears with a wide range of direct objects, including data, signals, information, or diseases. Examples include: Ils transmettent les données en temps réel. They transmit the data in real time. Les signaux sont transmis sans fil; les capteurs transmettent les signaux. The signals are transmitted wirelessly; the sensors transmit the signals. Les virus transmettent des maladies. Viruses transmit diseases. The verb can describe both technological processes (data or signals) and biological or communicative processes (information, diseases, ideas).

Etymology and related forms: transmettre comes from Latin transmittere, meaning to send across. In addition to transmettent, related forms include transmet (present tense for il/elle), transmets, transmettons, transmettez, and transmitted tenses such as ont transmis (passé composé). The present participle is transmettant. The term is polysemous, appearing in contexts from information technology to medicine and broadcasting.

Notes on usage: transmettent typically requires a direct object that is something that can be sent or conveyed, such as "données," "signaux," "connaissances," or "maladies." When discussing the act of sending by multiple agents, this form is appropriate; for a single subject, other conjugations should be used (transmet, transmettez, etc.).
