livré

Livré is the past participle of the French verb livrer, which means to deliver, hand over, or supply. Used as a participle and as an adjective, livré denotes something that has been delivered or handed over, and can describe goods, documents, or services that have reached their destination. The feminine and plural forms are livrée, livrés, and livrées, respectively.

In everyday and commercial usage, livré appears in contexts related to delivery and fulfillment. For example, a shipment may be described as “la marchandise livrée” or “des colis livrés au client.” When referring to actions, the verb form is used with auxiliary avoir in compound tenses, as in “Nous avons livré les commandes.” The past participle agrees with a preceding direct object: “les commandes que nous avons livrées” (feminine plural) or “les colis que nous avons livrés” (masculine plural).

Grammatical details include its agreement rules in passé composé and other compound tenses. If the direct object precedes the participle, the past participle agrees in gender and number with that object. Otherwise, it remains in its base form. As an adjective, livré can be used in phrases like “produit livré” or “service livré,” and is related to nouns such as livraison (delivery).

Notes and distinctions: livré should not be confused with livre, the noun for a book. The two terms are distinct in meaning and spelling, though they share a common root related to handing over or presenting. Livré is primarily a French term used in logistics, trade, and formal language to indicate that something has been handed over or supplied.
