favorisent

Favorisent is the third-person plural present indicative form of the French verb favoriser. It translates as “they favor” or “they promote/encourage.” Favoriser means to give an advantage to, to support the development or success of something, and is used transitively: on favorise une politique, une entreprise, une idée, etc.

Conjugation: Favoriser is a regular -er verb. The present tense endings yield: je favorise, tu favors, il/elle favorise, nous favorisons, vous favorisez, ils/elles favorisent. The form favorisent therefore appears with a plural subject in the present tense.

Usage: In political, economic, cultural or media contexts, favoriser often describes actions, policies or conditions that help a person, a group or an activity to thrive. It can express neutral support or strategic advantage and is typically followed by a direct object (favoriser quelque chose) to specify what is being promoted.

Examples: Les mesures fiscales favorisent les petites entreprises. Le programme vise à favoriser l’innovation et l’emploi. Des échanges culturels favorisent les liens entre les pays.

Etymology and related forms: Favoriser derives from the noun favor and from Latin favor, meaning support or kindness. Related forms include favor, favorable, et d’autres conjugations comme favorisant or favorisés, used in different tenses and moods.
