Usage notes

edit

This verb uses the auxiliary verb avoir when used transitively (or with a transitive sense, even when the complement is omitted); otherwise (when it is intransitive), it uses être. Hence être is used to form the perfect tense when monter has the sense "go up, climb, ascend", while avoir is used when it has the senses "put on, stage", "ride", "bring up".

ils sont montés dans la voiturethey got into the car
elles ont monté les valises dans la chambrethey put the suitcases in the bedroom

Etymology

edit

Probably via German munter from Old High German muntar. The form could also be inherited, provided that the Old High German -t- is unshifted due to the following -r- (as in bittar and wintar). The etymology of the Old High German word seems not to have been settled conclusively, although that preferred by Kluge/Seebold (2002) would yield Luxembourgish *monner. Compare German munter and borrowed Dutch monter.
