rapportes

Rapportes is the second-person singular present indicative form of the French verb rapporter, meaning “you report” or “you bring back.” It is used when addressing someone familiar as “tu.” The verb’s infinitive is rapporter, with related forms including rapportant (present participle) and rapporté (past participle). In present tense, the full conjugation for the verb rapporter includes: je rapporte, tu rapports, il rapporte, nous rapportons, vous raportez, ils rapportent. While rapportes is a valid form, it is not a standalone noun; it remains a verb form rather than a name or object.

Usage of rapportes centers on conveying information or physical items from one place to another. In the sense of reporting, it can mean to relay facts, findings, or events to someone else; in the sense of bringing back, it can refer to returning with items or results from travel, a task, or an investigation. The choice between senses depends on context and accompanying objects: for example, “Tu rapportes les nouvelles” (you report the news) versus “Tu rapportes les documents” (you bring back the documents).

In broader usage, the verb can be used in both informal conversation and formal writing, though its meaning shifts with context. The related noun rapport is used to denote a relation or an account, while reportage or reporter refers to the act or profession of reporting. The form rapportes itself is not a stand-alone term with a separate definition; it is a grammatical form of rapporter.
