revoit

Revoit is a French verb form. It is the third-person singular present indicative of revoir, the verb meaning to see again, to review, or to reconsider.

Etymology and meaning: Revoir is formed from the prefix re- meaning again, combined with voir, to see; voir derives from Latin videre. As a result, revoir carries nuances of repetition or reconsideration, which are carried into the present tense form revoit.

Conjugation: In present tense, the forms are je revois, tu revois, il revoit, nous revoyons, vous revoyez, ils revoient. The form revoit specifically marks the third-person singular subject, such as il or elle.

Usage: Revoit is used for both literal seeing again and figurative “review” or “reconsideration.” Examples include il revoit ses amis (he sees his friends again) and la commission revoit ses conclusions (the commission reviews or revises its conclusions).

Pronunciation: Revoit is pronounced [ʁəvwa], with the oi digraph yielding a local French “wa” sound.

Notes: Revoit is not a standalone noun or common proper name; in ordinary French it appears almost exclusively as the verb form. Its meaning depends on context, ranging from physical reseeing to intellectual revision.
