exhaler
exhaler 30秒で
- Exhaler means to breathe out air or to emit a scent/vapor. It is a regular -er verb used in both physical and poetic contexts.
- Commonly used for flowers releasing perfume or people sighing. It is more formal than 'sentir' and more sensory than 'expirer'.
- Watch out for the 'faux ami' with 'expirer' (dates/contracts). Exhaler is never used for a passport's expiration date.
- In literature, it describes the soul leaving the body or the earth releasing heat. It conveys a sense of movement from inside to out.
The French verb exhaler is a sophisticated yet accessible word that primarily describes the act of breathing out or emitting something, usually a scent, a gas, or a subtle sound like a sigh. While it shares a direct ancestor with the English word 'exhale', its usage in French often carries a more poetic or descriptive weight, especially when referring to the way flowers release their fragrance or how the earth releases heat after a long summer day. At its core, exhaler is about the movement of something from the inside to the outside, often in a gentle or continuous manner. It is a first-group verb (ending in -er), making its conjugation regular and predictable for learners at the A2 level.
- Physical Breathing
- In a biological or physiological context, it refers to the expulsion of air from the lungs. While 'expirer' is the more common medical term, 'exhaler' is used to describe the breath as a visible or felt phenomenon.
- Emission of Scents
- This is perhaps the most frequent usage in literature and descriptive writing. A rose doesn't just 'smell'; it exhale a delicate perfume into the evening air.
- Metaphorical Release
- It can also describe the outward expression of internal states, such as 'exhaler sa plainte' (to voice one's complaint) or 'exhaler sa colère' (to vent one's anger).
Les fleurs du jardin commencent à exhaler un parfum sucré dès que le soleil se couche.
In everyday conversation, you might not hear a teenager use 'exhaler' to describe breathing after a sprint—they would likely use 'souffler'. However, in any context involving perfumes, wine tasting, or romantic descriptions, exhaler is the gold standard. It suggests a certain elegance and intentionality. For example, a wine connoisseur might say that a Bordeaux exhale notes of red fruits and oak. This elevates the description from a mere observation to a sensory experience. Furthermore, the word is often used in the reflexive form 's'exhaler' in poetic contexts to describe how a soul or a spirit might leave a body, or how a sound fades into the distance.
L'humidité de la terre s'élève et semble exhaler une brume légère sur la vallée.
- Environmental Usage
- Used to describe marshes exhalant 'des miasmes' (vapors) or chimneys exhalant 'de la fumée' (smoke).
Using exhaler correctly requires understanding its role as a transitive verb, meaning it usually takes a direct object. You exhale *something*. Whether that something is physical (air, smoke) or sensory (smell, sound), the structure remains consistent: [Subject] + [Conjugated Form of Exhaler] + [Object].
- Direct Object: Scents
- La cuisine exhale une délicieuse odeur de pain chaud. (The kitchen gives off a delicious smell of warm bread.)
- Direct Object: Emotions/Sounds
- Il exhala un long soupir de déception après avoir lu la lettre. (He breathed out a long sigh of disappointment after reading the letter.)
La cheminée exhale une fumée noire qui monte droit vers le ciel gris.
In more advanced contexts, you might see the verb used in the passive voice or in the reflexive form 's'exhaler'. When a feeling or a scent 's'exhale', it is spreading out or dissipating into the air. For example, 'Sa joie s'exhalait en rires sonores' (His joy was expressed/poured out in loud laughter). This usage is very common in 19th-century French literature (think Victor Hugo or Balzac), where characters often 'exhalent leur âme' (breathe their last breath/give up their soul).
Elle ouvrit la fenêtre pour laisser la pièce exhaler l'odeur de peinture fraîche.
When talking about the weather or nature, exhaler is a beautiful choice. 'La terre exhalait une chaleur étouffante' (The ground was radiating a stifling heat). This implies that the heat was stored inside the ground and is now being released. This nuance of 'releasing what was contained' is vital to mastering the word. If you use it to describe a person, it often implies they are radiating a certain quality: 'Il exhale la confiance' (He radiates confidence).
- The 'Last Breath' Idiom
- 'Exhaler son dernier soupir' is a common, respectful way to say someone has passed away, similar to 'to draw one's last breath'.
You will encounter exhaler in several specific domains in France. Firstly, in the world of perfumery and cosmetics. France is the global capital of perfume, and marketing materials for brands like Chanel or Dior frequently use 'exhaler' to describe how a fragrance develops on the skin. You might read: 'Ce parfum exhale des notes de fond boisées après quelques heures' (This perfume gives off woody base notes after a few hours).
Sur le flacon, il est écrit que la fragrance exhale l'essence de la liberté.
Secondly, literary and academic settings. If you are reading a French novel, especially from the Romantic era, 'exhaler' is used to describe everything from the morning mist to the sighs of a heartbroken protagonist. In a classroom setting, a biology teacher might use it when discussing the respiratory system: 'Nous exhalons du dioxyde de carbone' (We exhale carbon dioxide).
Thirdly, in high-end gastronomy. When a chef presents a dish under a cloche, the moment it is lifted, the steam that escapes 's'exhale' into the dining room. A food critic might write: 'Le plat exhalait une vapeur parfumée à la truffe' (The dish emitted a truffle-scented steam). It is rarely used for bad smells in a formal context (where 'puer' or 'sentir mauvais' would be used), but it can be used technically for 'mauvaises odeurs' or 'miasmes' in a medical or historical context.
Le sommelier a expliqué que le vin doit respirer pour exhaler tous ses arômes.
- Art and Poetry
- In poetry, 'exhaler' is used to describe the soul leaving the body or the wind carrying a melody. It is a word of movement and transition.
The most frequent mistake English speakers make with exhaler is confusing it with its close cousin expirer. While both can mean 'to breathe out', expirer has a very common second meaning: 'to expire' or 'to end' (like a passport or a contract). If you say 'Mon passeport va exhaler demain', French people will think your passport is going to start emitting a scent! Always use 'expirer' for dates and 'exhaler' for the physical emission of breath or scent.
- Mistake: Exhaler vs. Respirer
- Learners often use 'respirer' for everything. Remember: respirer is the whole cycle (in and out). Inspirer is in. Exhaler/Expirer is out.
Faux ami: Ne dites pas 'Le contrat va exhaler', dites 'Le contrat va expirer'.
Another common error is the preposition usage. Beginners sometimes try to say 'exhaler de' when describing a smell. In French, exhaler is transitive: 'La fleur exhale un parfum' (The flower exhales a scent), NOT 'La fleur exhale d'un parfum'. If you want to use a preposition, you would switch to the reflexive: 'Un parfum s'exhale de la fleur'.
- Register Confusion
- Using 'exhaler' to describe someone breathing heavily after a gym session sounds overly poetic or weird. Use 'haleter' (to pant) or 'souffler' (to blow/huff) instead.
French has a rich vocabulary for emissions and breathing. Depending on what you are trying to say, exhaler might be too formal or too specific. Here are the main alternatives and how they differ:
- Expirer
- The technical/medical counterpart. Used in yoga classes ('Expirez lentement') or by doctors. It lacks the 'scent' connotation of exhaler.
- Émettre
- More neutral and scientific. Used for sounds, signals, or pollutants. 'L'usine émet du CO2'. It is less sensory than exhaler.
- Dégager
- Commonly used for heat or strong smells. 'Le radiateur dégage de la chaleur'. It implies a more powerful or passive release.
Alors que la fleur exhale son parfum, le vieux moteur dégage une fumée épaisse.
If you are talking about emotions, you might use exprimer (to express) or manifester (to show). Exhaler is specifically for when that emotion 'breathes out' of you, often involuntarily. For instance, 'exhaler sa tristesse' suggests the sadness is flowing out through sighs or words. In a more casual context, if something just smells, you say 'sentir'. 'Ça sent bon' is much more common than 'Ceci exhale une odeur agréable'. Reserve exhaler for when you want to be descriptive, precise, or slightly more formal.
How Formal Is It?
豆知識
The root 'halare' is also found in the word 'halitosis' (bad breath). So, when you 'exhale', you are literally 'breathing out' from your 'hale' (breath).

よくある質問
10 問Yes, but it's less common. Usually, 'exhaler' is used for pleasant or neutral scents. For bad smells, 'dégager une mauvaise odeur' or 'puer' is more frequent. However, in literature, you might see 'exhaler des miasmes' for foul vapors.
It is moderately common. You'll hear it in perfume shops, wine tastings, or when people are being descriptive. In very casual talk, people just say 'sentir'.
It uses 'avoir' as an auxiliary. For example: 'J'ai exhalé', 'Tu as exhalé', etc. It follows the standard -er verb pattern.
'Exhaler' is transitive (The flower exhales a scent). 'S'exhaler' is reflexive and used when the scent is the subject (A scent is exhaled/wafts from the flower).
Rarely, but in very poetic French, you might see it used for the 'exhalation' of the last rays of the sun.
No, it is an 'H muet' (silent H). This means you make a liaison or elision, like 'j'exhale' or 'ils exhalent' (where the 's' links).
It's better to use 'dégager'. 'Mon ordinateur dégage beaucoup de chaleur' sounds more natural than 'exhale'.
It's quite formal/literary. You'll see it in books more than you'll hear it in the street.
Yes, poetically. 'Exhaler une prière' or 'exhaler un secret' implies whispering or breathing the words out softly.
Mostly, but French 'exhaler' is much more common for smells than English 'exhale' is.

Summary
Use 'exhaler' when you want to describe a scent, a breath, or an emotion being released into the air. Example: 'La cuisine exhale une odeur de pain' (The kitchen gives off a smell of bread).
- Exhaler means to breathe out air or to emit a scent/vapor. It is a regular -er verb used in both physical and poetic contexts.
- Commonly used for flowers releasing perfume or people sighing. It is more formal than 'sentir' and more sensory than 'expirer'.
- Watch out for the 'faux ami' with 'expirer' (dates/contracts). Exhaler is never used for a passport's expiration date.
- In literature, it describes the soul leaving the body or the earth releasing heat. It conveys a sense of movement from inside to out.
The Perfume Rule
Always use 'exhaler' when describing high-quality scents or perfumes to sound more like a native.
Transitive vs Reflexive
Use 'exhaler' + [Object] or [Object] + 's'exhaler' + de + [Source]. Both are correct but change the focus.
The Sigh of Relief
Memorize 'exhaler un soupir de soulagement'. It's a very common and useful phrase.
Silent H
Ignore the 'h'. If you pronounce it, you'll sound like you're speaking English.
