hello,

in collinsdictionary.com (French section) they have at least two words for (to shiver from extreme cold?):

grelotter
frissonner

im trying to come up with a name that correlates to my name in English.
the correlation im looking for is singular, masculine and present infinitive
but without the subject being named (an unnamed subject like "the
shivering").

can anyone come up with some more verbs and grammar uses?

thanks
chlyde01

Hello Chlyde01,

Thank you for your comment ! :D

You can say : "Le frisson". (the shivers) or "le frissonnant" (the shivering). Both are singular, masculine and present infinitive.
You can also say "Le grelottant".

I hope it helps !

Have a nice day,
