transmettez

Transmettez is a form of the French verb transmettre. It is used as the present indicative second-person plural form with the subject vous (vous transmettez) and also as the imperative form (transmettez) directed at a group or, in polite usage, at a single person. The verb itself means to convey, pass along, transfer, or transmit information, signals, or objects from one party to another.

Etymology and meaning: Transmettre derives from Latin transmittĕre, composed of trans- “across” and mittere “to send.” The core idea is to move something across a boundary or between actors, whether it be data, messages, knowledge, diseases, or cultural practices. The sense is transitive: a direct object is typically involved (transmettre des données, un message, une maladie, etc.).

Conjugation notes: In present tense, the full paradigm is je transmets, tu transmets, il transmet, nous transmettons, vous transmettez, ils transmettent. The imperative forms are (tu) transmets, (nous) transmettons, (vous) transmettez. The form transmettez therefore appears both as a present-tense instruction and as a command.

Usage contexts: The verb is common in formal, technical, and everyday French. It appears in contexts such as transmitting data or a message, transmitting a disease, or transmitting signals in electronics and broadcasting. Synonyms include communiquer, diffuser, envoyer, and transmettre is often preferred when the emphasis is on passing information or items from one entity to another.

Examples: "Veuillez transmettre ce document au responsable." "Les données se transmettent rapidement sur Internet." "Le virus se transmet par contact." "Transmettez vos questions à l’orateur."
