Latest comment: 4 years ago by Backinstadiums in topic transitive and intransitive verb (U.S.): be unsurprising
I need examples of usage of each of the verb's meanings before I can translate it. I frankly don't see that the verb "to figure" means any of those things. When I say "I figure", I mean "I assume", "I suppose", possibly "I estimate" or "I guess". Angr 20:13, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
The noun senses seem to be (very) incomplete. RJFJR 19:28, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
transitive and intransitive verb (U.S.): be unsurprising[edit]
to be or happen as expected It just figures they'd show up late. Microsoft® Encarta® 2009.
Can it also be transitive? I cannot come up with any example --Backinstadiums (talk) 19:12, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
