Introduction to the verb brumer
The English translation of the French verb brumer is “to grumble” or “to mutter”. The infinitive form is pronounced as “broom-ay”.
The word brumer comes from the Old French word “brumer”, which means “to murmur” or “to grumble”. It is most often used in everyday French in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense in English. This tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action or event.
Three simple examples of using brumer in the Plus-que-parfait tense are:

- Elle avait brumé pendant des heures avant de se décider à en parler. (She had been muttering for hours before deciding to talk about it.)
- Nous avions brumé sur la météo avant de partir en vacances. (We had grumbled about the weather before leaving on vacation.)
In these examples, brumer is used to describe an ongoing action or state in the past that was completed before another past action. The Plus-que-parfait tense is formed by conjugating the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the imperfect tense and adding the past participle of brumer (brumé).
