The English translation of the French verb autodéterminer is “to self-determine” or “to determine oneself.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “oh-toh-day-tair-mee-nay.”
The word autodéterminer is derived from the combination of the prefix “auto,” meaning self, and the verb “déterminer,” meaning to determine. It is most often used in everyday French to express the idea of making one’s own choices and decisions, rather than being influenced by external factors.
