Present
| je | amanche |
| tu | amanches |
| il/elle | amanche |
| nous | amanchons |
| vous | amanchez |
| ils/elles | amanchent |
to arrange or adjust; to put a handle on a tool, assemble various parts
Literally means to fit a handle (manche) onto a tool — a rural, regional verb rarely used that way today. In Quebec French, though, it survives as an informal verb meaning to arrange or set something up (bien amancher un projet), or, reflexively, to get oneself into an awkward situation (mal amanché).
This word barely exists in mainland everyday French outside old rural speech — a learner focused on France should skip it, but a learner engaging with Quebec French will hear the informal "arrange/set up" sense fairly often.
