French

Etymology

From Latin sortiri, present active infinitive of sortior, possibly influenced by a derivative of surgere, surrectus. Compare Italian sortire, cf. also Spanish surtir.

Pronunciation

• audio

  (file)

• IPA: /sɔʁ.tiʁ/, SAMPA: /sOR.tiR/

Verb

sortir

1. (intransitive) To exit, go out, come out.
2. (transitive) To take out, bring out.

Conjugation

• This verb uses the auxiliary être when intransitive (as in Elle est sortie, “She went out”), and the auxiliary avoir when transitive (as in Elle a sorti un crayon, “She took out a pencil”).
• This is one of a fairly large group of irregular -ir verbs that are all conjugated the same way. Other members of this group include partir and dormir. The biggest difference between these verbs' conjugation and that of the regular -ir verbs is that these verbs' conjugation does not use the infix -iss-. Further, this conjugation has the forms (je, tu) sors and (il) sort in the present indicative and imperative, whereas a regular -ir verb would have *sortis and *sortit (as in the past historic).
