verb ah-soo-REH Less Common

to insure

Usage Note

Assurer has two main senses: to guarantee or ensure something (assurer la qualité), and to insure against risk (assurer sa voiture). The reflexive s'assurer que means to make sure that. Colloquially, assurer alone means to perform well or handle things competently — il assure vraiment (he's really good at it).

Examples

"Je vais m'assurer que tout est prêt."
