numériquement
numériquement in 30 Sekunden
- An adverb meaning 'digitally' or 'numerically', used for technology and quantities.
- Essential for discussing modern life, the internet, and data in French.
- Formed from 'numérique' + '-ment'; preferred over the Anglicism 'digitalement'.
- Used in formal contexts like banking, education, and government administration.
The French adverb numériquement is a versatile word that English speakers usually translate as 'digitally' or 'numerically'. At its core, it describes actions performed using digital technology, computers, or expressed in terms of numbers and quantities. In the modern era, you will encounter this word most frequently in discussions about technology, the internet, and the transition from physical paper to computer-based systems. However, its secondary meaning—referring to pure numbers—is equally important in scientific or statistical contexts. Understanding this word is essential for navigating the 'numérique' (digital) landscape of modern France, from banking to education.
- Technological Context
- When you store a photo on a cloud drive or sign a contract using an electronic signature, you are acting numériquement. It implies the conversion of information into binary code (0s and 1s).
Aujourd'hui, nous pouvons envoyer des documents numériquement en quelques secondes seulement.
- Quantitative Context
- In a more literal sense, it refers to the quantity or number of things. If a group is 'numériquement supérieur', it means they have more members or items than the opposing group, regardless of technology.
The word is constructed by taking the adjective 'numérique' and adding the suffix '-ment', which is the standard way to create adverbs in French, similar to adding '-ly' in English. This makes it an easy word to remember once you know the root. In everyday conversation, you might use it to describe how you prefer to read books (numériquement on a Kindle) or how you communicate with family abroad. It bridges the gap between the abstract world of mathematics and the very tangible world of modern gadgets.
L'entreprise a décidé de stocker toutes ses archives numériquement pour gagner de l'espace.
- Social Context
- The term is often used when discussing the 'digital divide' (la fracture numérique). Sociologists look at how people interact numériquement with the state, highlighting that not everyone has equal access to these tools.
Les manifestants étaient numériquement plus importants que prévu par la police.
Le signal est transmis numériquement pour éviter toute perte de qualité sonore.
Using numériquement correctly requires an understanding of French adverb placement. Generally, adverbs in French follow the verb they modify in simple tenses, and they are placed between the auxiliary and the past participle in compound tenses. Because numériquement is a relatively long, multi-syllabic word, it often carries a bit of weight in a sentence, signaling a formal or precise tone. It is rarely used in very casual slang, where people might just say 'sur l'ordi' (on the computer).
- Modifying Verbs of Communication
- Verbs like 'envoyer' (to send), 'partager' (to share), and 'échanger' (to exchange) are frequently paired with this adverb. It specifies the medium through which the action happens.
Nous avons échangé numériquement nos coordonnées après la conférence.
- Modifying Verbs of Creation
- Artists and designers use it to distinguish their work from traditional media. 'Dessiner numériquement' means to draw using a tablet or software rather than paper and ink.
Cet illustrateur travaille exclusivement numériquement pour ses clients internationaux.
In professional environments, you will often hear it in the context of 'transformation numérique'. If a company says they are 'évoluant numériquement', they are describing a shift in their business model. It also appears in legal contexts, such as 'signer numériquement', which has specific legal weight in France under the eIDAS regulations. Using the word correctly shows that you understand the modern administrative landscape of Francophone countries, which are increasingly moving toward 'tout-numérique' (all-digital) services.

- Comparison with Adjectives
- Don't confuse the adverb 'numériquement' with the adjective 'numérique'. Use the adverb when you want to describe the *how* of the action. If you want to describe the *thing*, use the adjective (e.g., 'un livre numérique').
Les données sont traitées numériquement par le processeur central.
Nous sommes numériquement liés à nos amis grâce aux réseaux sociaux.
In the real world, numériquement is ubiquitous in French media, government announcements, and corporate culture. If you listen to a news broadcast on France Inter or watch a report on TF1 about the future of work, you will likely hear experts discussing how the French workforce must adapt 'numériquement'. France has a strong push toward 'La French Tech', a movement supporting startups, where 'numériquement' is a buzzword used to describe innovation and modernization.
- In the News
- Journalists use it to talk about cyber-attacks or data privacy. They might say a system was breached 'numériquement', emphasizing that the theft was virtual rather than physical.
Le ministère a annoncé que les impôts peuvent désormais être payés numériquement.
- At School/University
- Teachers discuss 'l'éducation numérique'. Students are often asked to submit their homework 'numériquement' via platforms like Pronote or Moodle.
Les étudiants doivent s'inscrire numériquement avant la fin du mois d'août.
You will also hear this word in the context of cinema and photography. When a classic film is restored, the process is described as being 'restauré numériquement'. This implies a high-tech cleanup of the original film grain and scratches. Similarly, in the music industry, 'distribué numériquement' refers to music released on streaming platforms like Deezer (a French company) or Spotify, rather than on physical CDs or vinyl records. It represents a shift in how culture is consumed.
Ce vieux film de 1950 a été restauré numériquement en 4K.
- In Statistics and Sports
- Commentators might use it to describe a team that has a 'supériorité numérique' (numerical advantage), usually when one player is sent off. They might say they are 'numériquement réduits'.
L'équipe adverse est numériquement affaiblie après le carton rouge.
Toutes les transactions sont enregistrées numériquement pour la transparence.
The most common mistake for English speakers is using the word 'digitalement'. While 'digitalement' does exist in French, its primary meaning is 'using one's fingers' (from 'le doigt'). For example, a medical exam performed with fingers is 'digital'. Using 'digitalement' to mean 'using a computer' is considered an Anglicism and is often corrected in formal French writing. Stick to numériquement to sound more like a native speaker and to respect the linguistic norms of the Francophonie.
- The 'Digital' vs 'Numérique' Trap
- English: 'I sent it digitally.' -> Common Mistake: 'Je l'ai envoyé digitalement.' -> Correct: 'Je l'ai envoyé numériquement.'
Il ne faut pas dire 'digitalement' mais numériquement pour parler d'informatique.
- Confusing Adverb and Adjective
- Learners often say 'C'est numériquement' when they mean 'C'est numérique' (It is digital). Remember: 'numériquement' describes *how* something is done, while 'numérique' describes *what* something is.
Ce livre est numérique (adjective), mais il est distribué numériquement (adverb).
Another error is forgetting the 'e' before the '-ment' suffix. Some learners write 'numériqment', but the 'e' from the adjective 'numérique' must be preserved. Also, be careful with the placement. In English, we can say 'He digitally signed it'. In French, you cannot say 'Il numériquement a signé'. The adverb must follow the auxiliary verb in the passé composé: 'Il a signé numériquement'. This word order is a frequent stumbling block for beginners and intermediate students alike.
J'ai numériquement modifié la photo (Incorrect order) -> J'ai modifié numériquement la photo (Correct).
- Overusing the Word
- Sometimes it's more natural to say 'en ligne' (online) or 'par courriel' (by email). Don't use 'numériquement' for every single computer-related task; it can sound a bit overly technical or 'robot-like' in casual chat.
L'armée était numériquement plus faible, mais plus courageuse.
Est-ce que ce document peut être traité numériquement ?
While numériquement is the most precise term for 'digitally', there are several alternatives depending on the register and context. Understanding these nuances will help you sound more sophisticated and precise in your French. Whether you are talking about the internet, data processing, or simple counting, choosing the right word is key to clear communication.
- Informatiquement
- This means 'computationally' or 'via computer science'. It is more specific to the actual hardware and software processing than 'numériquement'.
Le problème a été résolu informatiquement par notre équipe technique.
- Virtuellement
- Meaning 'virtually'. This is used when something exists in a simulated environment or 'online' rather than in physical reality. It can also mean 'almost' (e.g., virtually impossible).
Nous nous sommes rencontrés virtuellement lors d'un webinaire.
If you are talking about the numerical aspect (quantities), you might use 'arithmétiquement' or 'statistiquement'. These are more clinical and mathematical. For example, 'arithmétiquement parlant' means 'arithmetically speaking'. In casual conversation, people often bypass 'numériquement' by using prepositional phrases like 'sur internet', 'par mail', or 'en ligne'. These are often easier to say and more common in daily life. However, in a professional report, 'numériquement' is the superior choice.
Il est arithmétiquement impossible de gagner avec ce score.
- Électroniquement
- Meaning 'electronically'. This is very close to 'numériquement' but is often used for hardware or circuits, whereas 'numériquement' is more about the data itself.
Le message a été transmis électroniquement à travers le réseau.
Cette option est techniquement possible, mais coûteuse.
How Formal Is It?
Wusstest du?
The term 'numérique' was championed by the French government and Académie Française to replace the English-influenced 'digital' because 'digital' in French specifically refers to fingers.
Aussprachehilfe
- Pronouncing the final 't' (it is always silent).
- Using an English 'digital' sound for the root.
- Missing the nasal quality of the '-ment' suffix.
- Pronouncing the 'u' like 'oo' in 'food' instead of the French 'u'.
- Stress on the first syllable (English style).
Schwierigkeitsgrad
The root is easy to recognize for English speakers (numeric).
The spelling is long and requires the correct suffix placement.
The five syllables and nasal ending can be a mouthful for beginners.
Clear pronunciation usually makes it easy to spot in a sentence.

Adverb Placement
Never place 'numériquement' between the subject and the verb. It's 'Je travaille numériquement', not 'Je numériquement travaille'.
Avoid Digitalement
If you want to say 'digitally', always choose 'numériquement'. 'Digitalement' sounds like you are talking about your fingers!
The Nasal End
The '-ment' suffix should sound like 'mah' with air coming through your nose. Don't pronounce the 'n' or 't'.
Professionalism
Use 'numériquement' in job interviews to discuss your tech skills. It sounds more professional than 'je connais les ordinateurs'.
Quantity vs Tech
Remember the dual meaning. It can mean 'using a computer' OR 'in terms of numbers'. Context will tell you which one it is.
Spelling Check
Don't forget the accent on the 'é'. It is 'numériquement', with an acute accent.
The French Way
The French are proud of their language. Using 'numériquement' shows you are making an effort to use 'pure' French terms.
Word Families
Connect 'numériquement' to 'numéro' (number). It helps you remember that digital things are just a series of numbers.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 FragenWhile people will understand you, it is technically incorrect for computer contexts. It's better to use 'numériquement' to sound like a native speaker and avoid being corrected. 'Digitalement' is usually reserved for things involving fingers, like a medical exam.
Not exactly. It means 'in digital form' or 'using numbers'. You can do something numériquement on a computer that isn't connected to the internet, like editing a photo or solving a math problem. 'En ligne' is the specific term for being on the internet.
You use the phrase 'numériquement inférieur'. For example, 'Nous sommes numériquement inférieurs' means 'We are outnumbered' or 'There are fewer of us'.
Yes, it is a formal and precise adverb. In casual settings, people often say 'sur l'ordi' (on the computer) or 'par internet'. However, in any professional or official context, 'numériquement' is the standard.
In French, adverbs usually follow the verb. 'Je signe numériquement'. In the past tense (passé composé), it usually follows the past participle: 'J'ai signé numériquement'.
There isn't a shorter adverb, but you can use phrases like 'en ligne' (online) or 'par mail' (by email) which are often quicker to say in conversation.
No, it describes an action or a state. You can't say 'Je suis numériquement'. You would say 'Je suis compétent numériquement' (I am digitally competent).
'Numériquement' focuses on the data being in a digital format. 'Informatiquement' focuses on the use of computer science or IT departments to solve a problem.
Yes, very often! If a player gets a red card, their team is 'numériquement réduit' (numerically reduced), meaning they have fewer players on the field.
In French, when an adjective ends in a silent 'e' (like 'numérique'), you keep that 'e' when adding the '-ment' suffix to form the adverb.

Summary
The word 'numériquement' is the correct French way to say 'digitally'. It covers both the use of computers (e.g., signing a document online) and the use of numbers (e.g., being outnumbered). Example: 'Veuillez signer numériquement' (Please sign digitally).
- An adverb meaning 'digitally' or 'numerically', used for technology and quantities.
- Essential for discussing modern life, the internet, and data in French.
- Formed from 'numérique' + '-ment'; preferred over the Anglicism 'digitalement'.
- Used in formal contexts like banking, education, and government administration.
Adverb Placement
Never place 'numériquement' between the subject and the verb. It's 'Je travaille numériquement', not 'Je numériquement travaille'.
Avoid Digitalement
If you want to say 'digitally', always choose 'numériquement'. 'Digitalement' sounds like you are talking about your fingers!
The Nasal End
The '-ment' suffix should sound like 'mah' with air coming through your nose. Don't pronounce the 'n' or 't'.
Professionalism
Use 'numériquement' in job interviews to discuss your tech skills. It sounds more professional than 'je connais les ordinateurs'.
