celer

Czech

Noun

celer m

1. celery

---

French

Etymology

From Latin cēlāre, present active infinitive of cēlō (“hide, conceal”).

Pronunciation

• IPA: /səle/, X-SAMPA: /s@le/

Verb

celer (transitive)

1. to conceal or hide

Conjugation

• This verb is conjugated mostly like the regular -er verbs (parler and chanter and so on), but the -e- /ə/ of the second-to-last syllable becomes -è- /ɛ/ before a silent or schwa -e-. For example, in the third-person singular present indicative, we have il cèle rather than *il cele. Other verbs conjugated this way include lever and mener. Related but distinct conjugations include those of appeler and préférer.
