Verb conjugation

endêver

To be furious, to rage

Usage

An archaic, literary verb surviving almost only in the fixed expression faire endêver quelqu'un, to exasperate or vex someone. You'll meet it in older texts more than in modern speech.

Examples

Ce gamin fait endêver sa grand-mère tous les jours. — That kid drives his grandmother up the wall every day.
Elle faisait endêver son frère pour s'amuser. — She used to torment her brother for fun.
Ne le fais pas endêver, il est déjà de mauvaise humeur. — Don't wind him up, he's already in a bad mood.

Common mistake

Only really survives in the set phrase faire endêver — modern speakers reach for énerver or exaspérer instead in everyday conversation.

Often confused with exaspérer.
