implementez

Implementez is a French verb form that appears in instructional and technical writing. It represents the second-person plural imperative of the verb implémenter, meaning “you (all) implement” or “you should implement.” In standard French, the imperative for vous is formed with the stem plus the ending -ez, giving implémentez. The form implementez, without the acute accent on the first e, is a common orthographic variant often seen in programming contexts or informal text, but the correct spelling is implémentez.

Usage in context is typical in manuals, tutorials, and code documentation where a group is being directed to perform an implementation task. Examples include lines such as “Implémentez les fonctions manquantes” or “Implémentez l’interface selon les spécifications.” The imperative captures a procedural tone appropriate to step-by-step instructions in software development, engineering, or any activity requiring action by multiple readers.

Etymology and linguistic notes: implémenter is a relatively recent French verb formed from the noun “implémentation” and the English loanword “to implement,” a development driven largely by the vocabulary of computer science and software engineering. The related noun is implémentation, and related verbs include implémenter (to implement) and the future or conditional forms derived from the same stem.
