collaborez

Collaborez is a form of the French verb collaborer. Depending on context, it can be the second person plural present indicative ("vous collaborez") or the present imperative addressed to the same plural subject ("Collaborez !"). In usage, it both describes a coordinated activity and issues a directive to act together, often in professional or formal settings.

Etymology: the verb collaborer comes from Latin collaborare, formed from com- "together" and laborare "to work." The present form collaborez follows standard patterns for -er verbs in French conjugation.

Usage notes: collaborez is common in communications that emphasize teamwork, cooperation, or joint effort. It appears in descriptive sentences like "Vous collaborez avec les partenaires," as well as in imperative instructions such as "Collaborez avec les départements concernés." Synonyms include coopérer; antonyms might highlight a lack of cooperation or obstruction.

Examples: "Collaborez avec les ingénieurs pour tester la solution." "Vous collaborez sur le projet depuis trois mois." Pronunciation is roughly /kɔ.la.bɔ.ʁe/ in standard French.
