triompher

Triompher is a French verb meaning to triumph, to prevail, or to overcome. It is commonly used to describe achieving a victory, succeeding in a set challenge, or overcoming difficulties in various contexts such as sports, competition, politics, or personal struggles.

Etymology and relation to other terms: The verb derives from the noun triomphe (triumph), which itself traces back through Latin triumphus to older Romance and Greek roots. English speakers are familiar with the cognate triumph, and triompher shares this lineage as the verbal form built from the noun.

Conjugation and usage: Triompher is a regular -er verb in its conjugation pattern, though its pronunciation reflects French phonology. Present tense forms are: je triomphe, tu triomphes, il triomphe, nous triomphons, vous triomph ez, ils triomphent. The past participle is triomphé, used with auxiliary être in compound tenses. Other tenses follow the standard -er verb conjugation, with the root appearing as triomph- in most forms and spelling adjustments for pronunciation in certain tenses.

Examples: L’équipe a triomphé du tournoi international. Elle triomphe des obstacles qui se dressent sur son chemin. On peut triompher de la fatigue avec de la discipline et de la persévérance.

Notes: In English-language writing, triompher is not a standard term and is typically rendered as “to triumph” or described as “to prevail.” The noun triomphe corresponds to the English “triumph.”
