anthropomorphiser

to anthropomorphize

Usage

A moderately common verb, especially in discussions of animals, robots, or AI, meaning to attribute human characteristics to a non-human being or object (anthropomorphiser un animal, un robot).

Examples
  • Les enfants ont tendance à anthropomorphiser leurs peluches.Children tend to anthropomorphize their stuffed animals.
  • Ce documentaire évite d'anthropomorphiser le comportement des loups.This documentary avoids anthropomorphizing the wolves' behavior.
  • On anthropomorphise souvent les chatbots en leur donnant un prénom.Chatbots are often anthropomorphized by giving them a first name.
Common mistake

This is a long, bookish word even for native speakers — learners shouldn't feel obligated to use it in casual conversation, where prêter des sentiments humains à (to attribute human feelings to) is a more natural paraphrase.
