Introduction to the verb enrhumer
The English translation of enrhumer is “to give someone a cold” or “to catch a cold.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “ahn-roo-may.”
Enrhumer comes from the French word “rhume,” which means “cold.” It is a reflexive verb, meaning that it is used with a reflexive pronoun (se) to indicate that the action is being done to oneself. In everyday French, it is most commonly used in the Passé Composé tense, which is the equivalent of the present perfect tense in English.

- Je me suis enrhumé hier. (I caught a cold yesterday.)
- Elle s’est enrhumée pendant ses vacances. (She got a cold during her vacation.)
- Nous nous sommes enrhumés à cause du temps froid. (We caught colds because of the cold weather.)
In all of these examples, the reflexive pronoun (me, se, or nous) indicates that the action was done to oneself. The past participle form of enrhumer is “enrhumé” and it agrees in gender and number with the subject of the sentence.
