Introduction to the verb généraliser
The English translation of the French verb “généraliser” is “to generalize.” The infinitive form “généraliser” is pronounced as zhay-nay-rah-lee-zay.

However, it is worth noting that the Passé Simple tense is mainly used in written French, particularly in literature or formal texts, rather than in spoken language.
