brumer

to fog, to be foggy

Usage

An impersonal weather verb (il brume) describing thick mist or fog settling in — closely related to brume (mist/haze), and less common in everyday speech than the noun itself or the verb s'embrumer.

Examples
  • Il brume sur la baie depuis l'aube. — Mist has been settling over the bay since dawn.
  • Le temps brume souvent le matin en automne. — It often gets misty in the morning in autumn.
  • La côte brumait, rendant la navigation difficile. — The coast was shrouded in mist, making navigation difficult.
Common mistake

Like other weather verbs, brumer only exists in the impersonal il form — French speakers more often describe mist with il y a de la brume or the adjective brumeux than with this verb directly.

Often confused with bruiner.
