meurs

Meurs is a term that appears in French with both grammatical and onomastic uses. In grammar, meurs is the present tense form of the verb mourir for the second-person singular tu and, in the same spelling, the first-person singular je (je meurs). The full present tense paradigm of mourir is je meurs, tu meurs, il meurt, nous mourons, vous mourez, ils meurent. The verb mourir derives from Latin morī, and its various forms appear across Romance languages with related meanings.

Meurs also occurs as a capitalized proper noun in some French-speaking contexts. When used as a place name or surname, it functions independently of the verb and follows standard French capitalization and noun usage rules. Such proper-noun uses are less common than the verb form and do not represent a single widely recognized entity.

In usage, meurs can appear in literary or spoken French as part of sentences describing death, either literally or metaphorically, depending on context. Because meurs is both a verb form and a potential proper noun, its meaning hinges on how it is capitalized and what surrounds it in the text. This duality illustrates how a single spelling can carry distinct grammatical and onomastic functions within the French language.
