Introduction to the verb exhaler
The English translation of the French verb exhaler is “to exhale.” It is pronounced as “egz-ah-lay” in its infinitive form.
Exhaler comes from the Latin word “exhalare,” which means “to breathe out.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the Passé Composé tense, which is the equivalent of the Present Perfect tense in English. This tense is used to talk about past actions that were completed at a specific point in time.
Three simple examples of exhaler in the Passé Composé tense are:

- Nous avons exhalé notre frustration en criant après avoir perdu le match. (We exhaled our frustration by shouting after losing the game.)
In all of these examples, exhaler is used in its past participle form to describe an action that has been completed in the past. It is often used to describe the act of breathing out, but can also be used in a more figurative sense to express emotions or release tension.
