evaluez

Évaluez is the standard written form in French for the second-person plural present indicative of the verb évaluer, or for the imperative form when giving a directive to several people. In ordinary speech and writing it corresponds to “you evaluate” (vous évaluez). The same spelling, without accents, appears in ASCII texts or data where diacritics are omitted, though the correct spelling with the acute on é is évaluez.

Grammatical notes: Évaluer is a regular -er verb in the first conjugation. Its present tense forms include: j’évalue, tu évalues, il évalue, nous évaluons, vous évaluez, ils évaluent. As an imperative, évaluez is used to instruct a group to perform the evaluation, for example “Évaluez les risques” or “Évaluez les résultats.” In other contexts, the noun évaluation refers to the act or process of evaluating, and évaluable describes something that can be evaluated.

Etymology and related forms: The verb évaluer derives from the noun valeur (value) and the verb suffix -er, with roots linked to the Latin valēre meaning “to be worth” or “to be strong.” Related forms include l’évaluation (the act), évaluable (adjective), and évaluateur/évaluatrice (person who evaluates).

Usage and scope: Évaluer is widely used across domains such as business, science, education, and public policy. It covers estimating value, judging quality, or determining the worth or significance of something. In mathematical or computational contexts, it can also mean to compute the value of an expression or function.
