Introduction to the verb consumer
The English translation of the French verb consumer is “to consume.” It is pronounced as [kɔ̃sɔme] in the infinitive form.
The word “consumer” comes from the Latin word “consumere,” meaning “to use up” or “to waste.” It entered the French language in the 15th century with the same meaning and evolved to include the meaning of “to buy and use goods or services.” In everyday French, consumer is most often used in the Futur Proche tense, which is formed by using the verb “aller” (to go) in the present tense followed by the infinitive form of the verb.
