Gémissons

Gémissons is a French verb derived from the Latin word "gemere," meaning to groan or lament. In contemporary French, it primarily functions as the first-person plural present indicative form of the verb "gémir." This means "gémissons" translates to "we groan" or "we moan" in English.

The verb "gémir" itself describes a vocal utterance expressing pain, suffering, sadness, or sometimes even pleasure. Therefore, when an individual or a group says "nous gémissons" (we groan), they are conveying that they are collectively experiencing and expressing such emotions or sensations. The context in which "gémissons" is used is crucial for understanding the specific nuance of the groaning or moaning. It can be a physical reaction to discomfort, an audible sign of emotional distress, or even a more figurative expression of complaint or dissatisfaction with a situation. The plural form "gémissons" indicates that the action of groaning or moaning is being performed by more than one person, specifically the speaker and at least one other individual.
