atteignons

Atteignons is a conjugated form of the French verb atteindre. It corresponds to the first-person plural present indicative: nous atteignons, meaning “we reach” or “we are reaching.” It is also used as the hortative imperative form, commonly translated as “let’s reach” or “let us reach.” In this usage, it functions as a call to action, often found in slogans or motivational language, for example: “Atteignons nos objectifs.” The form uses the stem atteign- and the standard -ons ending.

Etymology: The verb atteindre comes from Old French atteindre, from Latin attingere meaning “to touch, reach,” formed from ad- + tangere.

Grammar notes: In modern French, atteignons is the present tense form for nous and is distinct from forms like “atteins” (je/tu/il) and “atteignent” (ils). The -gn- before the -e preserves the soft g pronunciation [ɲ].

Usage and notes: Outside grammar, atteignons may appear in slogans or literary contexts; it is not a common noun or name. If seen as a proper noun, it would be a stylized title or brand rather than a standard lexical item.
