roulons

Roulons is a conjugated form of the French verb rouler, which means to roll or to wheel. In English-language reference works, roulons is not treated as a standalone lexical item; it appears as a verb form rather than as a word with a separate definition.

Grammatically, roulons is the first-person plural present indicative form, corresponding to the English “we roll” or “we are rolling.” It is used with the subject nous. For example, in French one might say, “Nous roulons le tapis pour le transporter” (We roll the rug to move it) or “Nous roulons les feuilles de papier pour les ranger” (We roll up the sheets of paper to store them). The form can appear in a variety of contexts where rolling or winding is involved, such as rolling a rug, a pastry, or a scroll of paper.

In non-French contexts, roulons generally appears only within quoted French phrases, otherwise retaining its role as a verb form rather than taking on a separate English meaning. It is not listed as an independent term in standard English dictionaries or technical vocabularies, and it does not designate a distinct object or concept on its own.

Related terms in French that are sometimes encountered in bilingual writing include rouler (to roll), rouleau (a roll or roller), and roulade (a rolled preparation or cut of meat). When translating or transcribing, roulons is typically kept as is when the original French sentence is preserved.
