"Je vous motive."

Translation: I am motivating you.

[DuFarge]

No way to understand the program saying 'motive'.

[GabeDC]

I usually have to play the slow version when it's the robot lady.

[BruiserTom]

Even the slow version doesn't help on this one ... and a lot of others in the French course. It sounds more like she is saying, "Je vous monsieur". The Italian course doesn't have this problem with sound distortion. Why is the French audio so distorted?

[JoyceGee1]

I agree. It sounded nothing like it!

[JessZ11]

If you need to tell someone you are motivating them, you're not doing it right.

[rolotow]

The drop down for 'motive' list stimulating, motivating and incentivizing as valid translations ... however
'Stimulating' is flagged as a wrong answer

[northernguy]

Makes sense really.

Stimulating has other more accessible uses that make it a poor choice here without context. Including it in the drop down because it could be used if done with care doesn't make sense if you are going immediately reject it as an answer.

[arandaneri]

I have the male voice version on my Android app for this exercise and it is just as bad. He pronounces motiv(ã) instead of motiv(ə). It does that with many other words in most exercises. That is too bad because the male voice sounds really cool but we are getting very misslead with his wrong pronunciations.

I agree, the female voice is very unclear at times but is a lot more acurate when it comes to pronouncing the words. Compare with other good translators and see for yourselves.

[TreasaWilson]

It really is impossible to get 'motive' from that recording, even on slow.

[pattymac60]

Can anyone give me a few good examples of usage of the verb "motiver"? The answer provided was "I spur you" but that doesn't make sense in English. My answer was "I urge you". It was rejected,

[tenfef]

Why not just "I motivate you"?

[bcrayner]

For me it accepted "I am motivating you."

[ElyottPort]

Does that even make sense?

[ElyottPort]

I also think jordan is right

[mevanssteele]

Terrible recording. There is no 'm,' 't' or 'v' audible in 'motive,' and since there's no context (just 'I xxx you') it could be any transitive verb in French.

[Jenestcomp]

I thought "motive" meant inspire.

[ThulzMadondo]

The voice though.... So creepy

[Will-J-Crawford]

Je pense que, malgré l'existence du mot « encourager » en français, le mot anglais “encourage” is appropriate here as a translation - this isn't (in my experience) commonly said in English.

[brisbris]

Is it incorrect to say "I encourage you"? I motivate you seems so weird in English. Is it common in English?
