fuirons

Fuirons is the first-person plural form of the French verb fuir in the future simple tense, meaning “we will flee.” The verb fuir is intransitive and denotes escaping or running away from danger, pursuit, or an undesirable situation. In modern usage, fuir is relatively rare in everyday speech, with speakers more often employing s’enfuir or other constructions to express fleeing.

Etymology and meaning: Fuir derives from Old French fuir, itself from Latin fugere, meaning to flee. The core meaning—to escape or run away from something—has remained stable, though the verb is now more common in literary or historical contexts.

Conjugation notes: The future simple forms of fuir are je fuirai, tu fuiras, il fuira, nous fuirons, vous fuirez, ils fuiront. The form corresponding to what is written as “fuirons” is nous fuirons. Other tenses include the present tense je fuis, nous fuyons, vous fuyez; the past participle is fui (as in j’ai fui, ils ont fui).

Usage: Fuir appears mainly in narrative, formal writing, or discussions of historical events. A typical future-use sentence is: Nous fuirons le danger dès qu’il se présentera. In everyday speech, speakers often prefer s’enfuir or other expressions to convey the idea of fleeing.

Related terms: Fuir contrasts with s’enfuir, the more common reflexive form meaning to flee or run away, especially in everyday language. The verb fuir is considered less common outside literary or historical registers.
