egged on

Translation


Okay, the user wants me to translate "egged on" into French. Let me think about the correct translation.

"Egged on" is an idiom, right? It means to encourage someone to do something, often in a persistent or goading way. In French, the equivalent expression might be "inciter" or "pousser" someone. But I need to make sure it's the right idiom.

Wait, "egged on" can also mean to provoke or provoke someone into action. So maybe "inciter à faire quelque chose" or "pousser à agir". Let me check if there's a common French idiom that matches.

Another possibility is "pousser dans les bras du danger" but that's more like "push into danger". Hmm. Maybe "inciter à" is more direct. For example, "He was egged on by his friends" would be "Il a été incité par ses amis".

Alternatively, "pousser quelqu'un à faire quelque chose" is a common structure. So "egged on" could translate to "pousser à" or "inciter à". Let me confirm with a dictionary or example sentences.

Yes, "egged on" as a verb phrase is often translated as "inciter à" or "pousser à". So the translation of "egged on" would be "inciter à" or "pousser à". But since the user wants the translation of the phrase, maybe "inciter" is sufficient. Wait, the original is "egged on" which is past tense? No, "egged on" can be a past participle or present tense depending on context.

Wait, the user provided "egged on" as the input. Let me check if it's a verb. "Egged on" is the past tense of "egg on", which means to encourage or provoke. So in French, the past participle would be "incité" or "poussé". But the user might want the translation of the phrase as a verb, so maybe "inciter" or "pousser".

Alternatively, if it's a noun, but in this case, it's more likely a verb. So the correct translation would be "inciter" or "pousser". Let me go with "inciter" as the primary translation. Therefore, the answer should be "inciter".
