Usage notes edit
This verb uses the auxiliary verb avoir when used transitively (or with a transitive sense, even when the complement is omitted); otherwise (when it is intransitive), it uses être. Hence être is used to form the perfect tense when monter has the sense "go up, climb, ascend", while avoir is used when it has the senses "put on, stage", "ride", "bring up".
- ils sont montés dans la voiture ― they got into the car
- elles ont monté les valises dans la chambre ― they put the suitcases in the bedroom

Luxembourgish edit
Etymology edit
Probably via German munter from Old High German muntar. The form could also be inherited, provided that the Old High German -t- is unshifted due to the following -r- (as in bittar and wintar). The etymology of the Old High German word seems not to have been settled conclusively, although that preferred by Kluge/Seebold (2002) would yield Luxembourgish *monner. Compare German munter and borrowed Dutch monter.

1 The present participle was variable in gender and number until the 17th century (Anne Sancier-Château [1995], Une esthétique nouvelle: Honoré d'Urfé, correcteur de l'Astrée, p. 179). The French Academy would eventually declare it not to be declined in 1679. | |||||||
2 The gerund was held to be invariable by grammarians of the early 17th century, and was usable with preposition en, as in Modern French, although the preposition was not mandatory (Anne Sancier-Château [1995], op. cit., p. 180). |
