Usage Note

Mélanger takes a spelling accommodation in certain conjugations — the -ge- keeps its soft sound before -ons: nous mélangeons. The noun un mélange ('a mixture' or 'a blend') is widely used in cooking and music contexts. The expression ne pas mélanger les torchons et les serviettes means to keep different social groups apart.

Examples
