annoter

to annotate

Usage

A common verb in academic and editorial contexts meaning to annotate — to add notes, comments, or corrections to a text (annoter une copie, un manuscrit).

Examples
  • Le professeur a annoté toutes les copies.The teacher annotated all the papers.
  • J'aime annoter mes livres au crayon.I like to annotate my books in pencil.
  • L'éditeur a annoté le manuscrit avant publication.The editor annotated the manuscript before publication.
Common mistake

Learners sometimes confuse annoter (to add notes/comments to an existing text) with noter (to write down, or to grade) — annoter always implies working on an existing document, not creating a note from scratch.

Often confused with noter.
