Two different ways to translate “ augmenter”
(water, tension) Monter; (get up) (person) se lever; (after falling) se relever : Rise
faire naître (fears); soulever (issue, objection); élever (child, family/ livestock); to raise
'Raise' needs an object, and 'rise' cannot take an object. So, for example, I can say that I
personally think that the government of this country needs to raise taxes (and 'taxes' is the
object of the verb); another way I can say that is that I think that taxes need to rise. We are
always talking about the need to raise standards (and 'standards' is the object of the verb) another way of saying it is that standards need to rise.
