Introduction to the verb huer
The English translation of the French verb huer is “to boo.” It is pronounced as “hwey” in its infinitive form.
The word huer comes from the Latin word “hue,” meaning “shout” or “cry out.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense in English. This tense is used to describe an action that occurred before another past action.
Three simple examples of huer in the plus-que-parfait tense are:

- Nous avions hué le chanteur parce qu’il était en retard. (We had booed the singer because he was late.)
- Les supporters avaient hué l’arbitre après la décision controversée. (The fans had booed the referee after the controversial decision.)
In each of these examples, huer is used to describe an action that had already taken place before another past event. It is often used in the context of sports, concerts, or political events, where a crowd may boo or jeer at someone or something.
