How to Say “Learn More” in French

By •
en savoir plus
The English phrase 'learn more' is translated into French as en savoir plus.
en savoir plus is used when you want to acquire additional information or facts about a specific topic. While the French verb apprendre refers to the process of studying or acquiring a new skill, en savoir plus focuses specifically on gaining more knowledge or details about a subject.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase can be broken down into three parts: en (of it/about it), savoir (to know) and plus (more). Literally, it means 'to know more of it'.

How does it change in a sentence?

You can replace the word plus with davantage to say en savoir davantage. This maintains the same meaning but provides a more polished or formal tone.

Did you know?

  • The verb savoir shares an ancient root with the Latin word sapere, which meant 'to taste' and later 'to be wise'.
  • The third-person singular present subjunctive form sache reflects a historical phonetic change where an original 'p' sound shifted into a 'ch' sound.
