French edit

Etymology edit

From sur- +‎ diriger.

Pronunciation edit

Verb edit

surdiriger

  1. (transitive) to overdirect

Conjugation edit

This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written surdirige- before endings that begin with -a- or -o- (to indicate that the -g- is a "soft" /ʒ/ and not a "hard" /ɡ/). This spelling-change occurs in all verbs in -ger, such as neiger and manger.
