Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how viennent appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Lave ta tignasse ou je te gifle ; fais-toi des locks, des tresses, rase-toi le crâne ; donne ta chemise ; cesse d’être ma honte, le soir, quand les voisines viennent, avec leur air de pimbêches, Fatoumata surtout, et qu’elles demandent : et ton frère ? où donc est-il, notre chéri ? où est-il, petit Abou ?
De ce point de vue, il est très remarquable que ce soient, aujourd’hui, les généticiens qui viennent ré-armer la notion d’archaïque.
