Verb conjugation

gerber

to sheave; to stack

Usage

Several senses: to stack or pile (gerber des fûts), to bind into sheaves, and, in slang, to throw up. In law/trade, gerber un jugement is a different, rare use. Context decides.

Examples

On gerbe les caisses à l'entrepôt. — Crates are stacked in the warehouse.
Il a gerbé dans la voiture. — He threw up in the car. (slang)
Les moissonneurs gerbent le blé. — The harvesters bind the wheat into sheaves.

Common mistake

The slang sense is vulgar; don't use it in polite company. The stacking sense is neutral and technical.

Often confused with vomir.
