emigreert

Emigreert is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Dutch verb emigreren, meaning "to emigrate" or "to leave one's country to settle in another." It is used to describe an action someone currently performs or will perform in the near future: for example, "Hij emigreert naar Canada" ("He is emigrating to Canada").

The verb emigreren derives from French émigrer and ultimately from Latin roots meaning "to move away." In Dutch it belongs to the regular weak verb class, forming the past tense emigreerde and the past participle geëmigreerd, often written with a trema (geëmigreerd) to signal separate vowel pronunciation.

Emigreert is often contrasted with immigreert (from immigreren), which denotes entering and settling in a country. Emigreren typically emphasizes departure from a country of origin and is associated with legal, social and economic contexts such as residence permits, citizenship, and demographic statistics. Usage ranges from everyday speech to formal reports and news articles.

Grammatically, emigreert appears with personal pronouns or nouns (hij, zij, de familie) and may be accompanied by prepositional phrases indicating destination (naar Australië, naar het buitenland). Synonyms or related nouns include emigrant (a person who emigrates) and emigratie (the act or process of emigrating).
