Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how martin appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Le cardinal, vêtu de sa plume écarlate, En leurs nids cotonneux trouble les colibris. Les martins au bec jaune et les vertes perruches, Du haut des pics aigus, regardent l’eau dormir ; Et, dans un rayon vif, autour des noires ruches, On entend un vol d’or tournoyer et frémir.
Le soir, quand les martins jacassent dans les grands arbres du jardin, il y a la voix douce et jeune de Mam en train de dicter un poème, ou de réciter une prière.
