lubrifie

Lubrifie is the third-person singular present indicative form of the French verb lubrifier, meaning “he lubricates” or “she lubricates.” The infinitive is lubrifier, and the present tense forms for this -er verb follow the standard pattern: je lubrifie, tu lubrifies, il lubrifie, nous lubrifions, vous lubrifiez, ils lubrifient. Example: Il lubrifie la pièce pour réduire l’usure.

Etymology: The verb lubrifier derives from Latin lubricus, meaning slippery, and the suffix -ficare, forming a verb meaning to make slippery. The form lubrifie reflects the standard French orthography for the third-person singular present tense.

Usage: Lubrifie appears in French-language technical writing, manuals, or phrases that present a direct instruction or narrative about lubricating a component. In English, the term would typically be translated as “lubricates,” and “lubrifie” would only appear if French text is quoted directly.
