gèrent

Gèrent is the third-person plural present indicative form of the French verb gérer, meaning to manage, administer, or handle. It is used with a direct object to describe the act of directing resources, activities, or people. For example, ils gèrent les finances de l’entreprise or elles gèrent un projet complexe.

The verb gérer comes from Old French and ultimately from Latin gerere, meaning to bear or carry, with the sense evolving in French toward overseeing or conducting. Related terms include gestion (management, administration) and gérant (a manager or person in charge). The form gèrent is one of several present-tense endings that mark the subject as they.

In usage, gérer covers a range of contexts from business and public administration to daily life. It can express handling a situation, running an organization, or coordinating tasks. It is often used with nouns such as finances, budget, personnel, or resources. The past participle is géré, as in j’ai géré le budget, and the present participle is gérant, used as a noun or in phrases like en gérant. Practically, gèrent typically conveys competence in organizing, directing, or supervising to achieve objectives.
