Introduction to the verb fêter
The English translation of the French verb fêter is “to celebrate.” The infinitive form, fêter, is pronounced as “fey-tey.”
The word fêter comes from the Latin word “festare,” meaning “to honor with a festival.” It entered the French language in the 12th century and has been used in various forms (festeier, festier, fistier) until it settled on its current form in the 14th century.
