From Old French mengier.

Verb

manger

1. to eat (consume food)

• Middle French conjugation varies from one text to another. Hence, the following conjugation should be considered as typical, not as exhaustive.

Old French

Verb

manger

1. (Anglo-Norman) Alternative form of mengier

Conjugation

This verb conjugates as a first-group verb ending in -er. In the present tense an extra supporting e is needed in the first-person singular indicative and throughout the singular subjunctive, and the third-person singular subjunctive ending -t is lost. In addition, g becomes j before an a or an o to keep the /d?/ sound intact. Old French conjugation varies significantly by date and by region. The following conjugation should be treated as a guide.

Romansch

Alternative forms

• (Rumantsch Grischun, Vallader) mangiar

Etymology

Borrowed from Old French mangier, from Latin mand?c?, manduc?re.

Verb

manger

1. (Puter) to eat

Related terms

• maglier

Usage notes

In standardised Rumantsch Grischun, mangiar is used for people eating and magliar for animals eating. When applied to people magliar means eating badly (eating like a pig). Some of the Romansch lects do not make this distinction (especially Sursilvan) and magliar is the usual term for human beings.
