Usage Note

Choisir is a regular -ir verb conjugated with the -iss- infix in plural forms: nous choisissons, ils choisissent. The noun le choix (choice, selection) is irregular and does not derive transparently from the infinitive, so learners must memorize both. C'est votre choix (it's your choice) is a very common phrase.

Examples

"Tu peux choisir un dessert."

Natural Translation

You can choose a dessert.
