seffectuer

S'effectuer is a French pronominal verb meaning to take place, to be carried out, to occur, or to come into effect. It is used to indicate that a process, operation, event, or step unfolds or is completed. The sense is formal or technical and tends to appear in written or official discourse rather than casual speech. The verb reflects that the action happens to the subject, rather than being actively performed by an agent.

Grammatical notes: s'effectuer is intransitive and conjugated with the auxiliary être in compound tenses. The past participle agrees with the subject: L'opération s'est effectuée. Present tense forms are: cela s'effectue; les démarches s'effectuent. It is often used in impersonal constructions such as Cela s'effectue automatiquement.

Usage and examples: Common contexts include procedures, operations, plans, events, and technological processes. Examples: Le transfert des données s'effectue sans interruption. L'audit s'est effectué en deux phases. Le changement s'effectuera demain.

Related terms: synonyms include se réaliser, avoir lieu, et se dérouler. The verb is more formal and technical than everyday alternatives.
