inflammé 30秒了解
- Inflamed: red, swollen, painful, often from infection/injury.
- Common in medical contexts, everyday ailments, and descriptions of injuries.
- Ensure agreement with noun; 'enflammé' is more common than 'inflammé'.
- Distinguish from 'inflammable' (flammable).
The French adjective inflammé, which is of CEFR level A2, directly translates to 'inflamed' in English. It describes a state of being red, swollen, and often painful, typically due to an infection, injury, or allergic reaction. Think of a cut that has become red and puffy, or a sore throat that feels raw and swollen. This word is commonly used in medical contexts to describe the symptoms of various conditions, from minor irritations to more serious ailments.
- Medical Context
- Doctors and nurses use inflammé to describe tissues that are showing signs of inflammation. For instance, they might say 'l'appendice est inflammé' (the appendix is inflamed) or 'la gorge est inflammée' (the throat is inflamed).
- Everyday Situations
- Beyond formal medical settings, inflammé can also describe everyday discomforts. If you've bumped your knee and it's become red and swollen, you might describe it as inflammé. Similarly, an insect bite that becomes angry and puffy is inflammé.
- Figurative Use
- While primarily literal, the concept of 'inflamed' can sometimes be used metaphorically to describe situations or emotions that are heated or agitated, though this is less common for the adjective inflammé itself compared to its related noun 'inflammation'.
Après la chute, son genou est devenu rouge et inflammé.
La piqûre de moustique a laissé une zone inflammée.
- Examples in Usage
- When describing a wound, you might say, 'La plaie est inflammée et douloureuse.' (The wound is inflamed and painful.) In a medical report, a doctor might note, 'Le tissu environnant est visiblement inflammé.' (The surrounding tissue is visibly inflamed.) For a more common ailment, 'J'ai la gorge très inflammée ce matin.' (I have a very inflamed throat this morning.)
Using inflammé correctly involves understanding its grammatical role as an adjective and its typical contexts. As an adjective, it follows the noun it describes or is linked by a verb like 'être' (to be). Remember that it must agree in gender and number with the noun. Here are various ways to incorporate it into your French sentences:
- Describing Physical Conditions
- This is the most common usage. You'll use it to talk about body parts or skin that are red, swollen, and sore. For example: 'Mon œil est devenu rouge et inflammé.' (My eye has become red and inflamed.) 'La zone autour de la coupure est inflammée.' (The area around the cut is inflamed.)
- Linking Verb 'Être' (To Be)
- Using 'être' is a very straightforward way to employ the adjective: 'Le doigt est inflammé.' (The finger is inflamed.) 'Ses gencives sont inflammées.' (His gums are inflamed.)
- After a Medical Procedure
- It's common to hear this after minor medical interventions: 'La zone de l'injection est légèrement inflammée.' (The injection site is slightly inflamed.)
- Describing Internal Organs or Tissues
- In a more medical context, it can refer to internal issues: 'Le médecin a diagnostiqué un estomac inflammé.' (The doctor diagnosed an inflamed stomach.) 'Les poumons étaient enflammés à cause de l'infection.' (The lungs were inflamed due to the infection.)
- Agreement Examples
- * Masculine singular: 'Le coude est inflammé.' (The elbow is inflamed.)
* Feminine singular: 'L'oreille est enflammée.' (The ear is inflamed.)
* Masculine plural: 'Les muscles sont enflammés.' (The muscles are inflamed.)
* Feminine plural: 'Les articulations sont enflammées.' (The joints are inflamed.)

You'll encounter the word inflammé in a variety of real-life situations, primarily in contexts related to health, well-being, and physical conditions. Its prevalence is highest in settings where people discuss symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments. Here's where you're most likely to hear or read it:
- Doctor's Office and Hospitals
- This is the most natural environment for inflammé. A doctor will use it to describe your symptoms: 'Votre gorge est très enflammée.' (Your throat is very inflamed.) Or when examining an injury: 'La cheville est enflammée.' (The ankle is inflamed.) Medical professionals use it routinely in diagnoses and patient explanations.
- Pharmacies and Drugstores
- When you go to buy medication for a swollen or red area, the pharmacist might ask or explain: 'Utilisez cette crème pour la zone enflammée.' (Use this cream for the inflamed area.) Or they might describe the condition the medication treats: 'Ce médicament est pour les peaux enflammées.' (This medication is for inflamed skin.)
- Conversations with Friends and Family
- In everyday chats, people share their health experiences: 'J'ai une coupure qui est devenue toute rouge et enflammée.' (I have a cut that has become all red and inflamed.) 'Mon fils a eu de la fièvre et une oreille enflammée.' (My son had a fever and an inflamed ear.)
- Health Articles and Websites
- When reading about medical conditions, especially skin issues, allergies, or infections, inflammé will appear: 'Les symptômes incluent une peau rouge et enflammée.' (Symptoms include red and inflamed skin.) 'La maladie provoque des articulations enflammées.' (The disease causes inflamed joints.)
- Veterinary Clinics
- Animal health discussions are similar to human ones: 'Le vétérinaire a dit que la patte de mon chien était enflammée.' (The vet said my dog's paw was inflamed.)
Le médecin a constaté que mon bras était inflammé après la chute.
Il a une conjonctivite, son œil est enflammé.
When learning and using inflammé, English speakers might encounter a few common pitfalls. Understanding these can help you avoid them and use the word more accurately. The main areas of confusion often relate to grammar, specific meaning, and pronunciation.
- Confusing with 'Enflammé' (Spelling)
- This is a very common mistake. While inflammé is a correct form, the more frequently used adjective derived from 'inflammer' is actually 'enflammé' (with an 'e'). Both are technically correct past participles used as adjectives, but 'enflammé' is far more common in everyday language and medical contexts. For example, you're more likely to hear 'la gorge est enflammée' than 'la gorge est inflammée'. Stick with 'enflammé' for general use.
- Gender and Number Agreement Errors
- As an adjective, inflammé (or more commonly, enflammé) must agree with the noun it modifies. Forgetting this can lead to grammatical errors. For example, saying 'les yeux sont inflammé' instead of 'les yeux sont enflammés' (masculine plural) is incorrect. Always check the gender and number of the noun.
- Using it for 'On Fire'
- The English word 'inflammable' means something that can catch fire easily. The French word for this is 'inflammable' (identical spelling). Inflammé (or enflammé) means 'inflamed' in the medical sense, not 'burning'. Confusing these could lead to serious misunderstandings. For instance, you would not describe a fire as 'inflammé'; you would use 'en feu' (on fire) or 'inflammable' (flammable).
- Overuse or Misapplication
- While inflammé is quite specific to a medical state, learners might sometimes try to use it for general redness or irritation that isn't necessarily swollen or painful. It's best reserved for conditions that exhibit the classic signs of inflammation: redness, swelling, heat, and pain.
- Pronunciation
- The pronunciation of the 'é' sound at the end can be tricky for English speakers. Ensure you pronounce it clearly as a distinct sound, not as a silent 'e' or an English 'ee' sound. The stress is generally on the last syllable.
Incorrect: 'Mon genou est inflammé après le match.' (if meaning flammable)
Correct for medical state: 'Mon genou est enflammé après le match.'
Correct for flammable: 'Ce produit est inflammable.' (This product is flammable.)
While inflammé (or more commonly, enflammé) is a precise term for a specific medical condition, there are other French words that might be used in similar contexts, sometimes with slightly different nuances. Understanding these alternatives can enrich your vocabulary and help you choose the most appropriate word for a given situation.
- Enflammé vs. Inflammé
- As mentioned, enflammé is the more common and preferred adjective for 'inflamed' in medical contexts. Inflammé is the direct past participle of 'inflammer' and is technically correct, but 'enflammé' has become the standard adjective form. Use enflammé in almost all cases where you mean 'inflamed'.
- Rouge (Red)
- Rouge simply means 'red'. While an inflamed area is usually red, redness can occur for many other reasons (e.g., blushing, sunburn). Inflammé implies redness *plus* swelling and pain, indicating a more specific condition.
- Gonflé (Swollen)
- Gonflé means 'swollen'. Swelling is a key component of inflammation, but something can be swollen without being inflamed (e.g., a limb after an injury that isn't infected, or a balloon). Inflammé includes swelling as part of a broader set of symptoms.
- Douloureux (Painful)
- Douloureux means 'painful'. Pain is often associated with inflammation, but not all painful conditions are inflamed, and some inflamed areas might not be acutely painful. Inflammé describes the physical state that often *causes* pain.
- Irrité (Irritated)
- Irrité means 'irritated'. This is a more general term for discomfort or a mild reaction. An inflamed area is certainly irritated, but 'irritated' might not encompass the swelling and significant redness characteristic of inflammation. For example, dry skin might be irritée, but not necessarily enflammée.
- Infecté (Infected)
- Infecté means 'infected'. Inflammation is often a response to infection, but inflammation can also be caused by injury or allergies without infection. An infected wound is usually also inflamed, but the terms highlight different aspects: infection is the presence of harmful microorganisms, while inflammation is the body's reaction to it (or other causes).
Comparison:
- 'Sa peau est rouge.' (His skin is red.) - Could be sunburn.
- 'Sa peau est gonflée.' (His skin is swollen.) - Could be from an insect bite.
- 'Sa peau est enflammée.' (His skin is inflamed.) - Implies redness, swelling, and pain, likely due to irritation or infection.
How Formal Is It?
趣味小知识
The Latin root 'flamma' (flame) is also the origin of many English words related to fire and light, such as 'flame', 'flammable', 'flamboyant', and 'inflame'. This shared root highlights the ancient connection between the concept of fire and the physical process of inflammation, which often involves heat and redness.
发音指南
- Pronouncing the 'in' as a separate 'in' sound instead of a nasal vowel.
- Not pronouncing the final 'é' clearly.
- Confusing it with the English word 'inflammable' in pronunciation, which can lead to misinterpretation.
难度评级
The word itself is not overly complex, but understanding its medical context and nuances can be challenging. Recognizing it in written form is usually straightforward, especially with visual cues or surrounding text.
The main difficulty in writing lies in correct grammatical agreement (gender and number) and choosing between 'inflammé' and the more common 'enflammé', as well as distinguishing it from 'inflammable'.
Pronunciation requires attention to the nasal vowel and the final 'é'. Using it in context requires confidence in its meaning and appropriate grammatical forms.
Understanding the word when spoken depends on clear pronunciation and context. It's often used in medical or health-related discussions, which can provide clues.

容易混淆的词
This word looks very similar but means 'flammable' (able to catch fire). It is crucial not to confuse the two, as their meanings are entirely different and could lead to dangerous misunderstandings. For example, describing a fire as 'inflammé' would be incorrect; you would use 'en feu' or 'inflammable'.
'Inflammation' is the noun form, referring to the state or process of being inflamed. 'Inflammé' is the adjective describing something that *is* inflamed. For instance, 'l'inflammation de la gorge' (the inflammation of the throat) versus 'la gorge est enflammée' (the throat is inflamed).
This is the verb 'to inflame'. 'Inflammé' is the past participle used as an adjective. The verb describes the action of causing inflammation, while the adjective describes the resulting state. 'Le feu a enflammé le bois.' (The fire inflamed the wood.)
容易混淆
Identical spelling to a related English word, and very similar to the French word 'enflammé'.
'Inflammable' means capable of burning or catching fire easily. 'Enflammé' means red, swollen, and painful due to irritation, infection, or injury. They are completely different concepts. For example, gasoline is 'inflammable', but a sore throat is 'enflammée'.
Attention, ce produit est hautement inflammable et ne doit pas être exposé à une flamme. / J'ai une coupure qui est devenue enflammée et douloureuse.
Related noun form.
'Inflammation' is the noun referring to the bodily response characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain. 'Enflammé' is the adjective used to describe a specific part or thing that is experiencing this response. You have 'une inflammation' (inflammation), and something is 'enflammé' (inflamed).
Le médecin a diagnostiqué une inflammation du genou. / Mon genou est enflammé.
Both describe discomfort and redness.
'Irrité' means irritated, which is a more general term for discomfort, redness, or mild inflammation. 'Enflammé' specifically implies a more significant inflammatory response with noticeable swelling and often pain. For example, dry skin might be 'irritée', but a serious insect bite might be 'enflammée'.
Ma peau est irritée par le savon. / Ma jambe est enflammée après la chute.
Inflammation is often a symptom of infection.
'Infecté' means that harmful microorganisms (bacteria, viruses) are present and multiplying. 'Enflammé' describes the body's reaction to an injury, infection, or other irritant. An infected wound is usually inflamed, but not all inflamed areas are infected (e.g., an allergic reaction can cause inflammation without infection).
La plaie est infectée et nécessite des antibiotiques. / La plaie est enflammée, mais pas encore infectée.
Redness is a primary sign of inflammation.
'Rouge' simply means red. While an inflamed area is typically red, redness alone does not equate to inflammation. Inflammation also involves swelling, heat, and pain. For instance, blushing makes skin red but it's not inflamed.
Son visage est rouge à cause de la honte. / Son visage est enflammé à cause d'une allergie.

如何使用
Common, especially in medical and health-related contexts.
-
Using 'inflammé' instead of 'enflammé'.
→
enflammé
While 'inflammé' is technically the past participle of 'inflammer', 'enflammé' has become the standard and much more common adjective form in French to describe a state of inflammation. Using 'enflammé' sounds more natural to native speakers.
-
Confusing 'enflammé' (inflamed) with 'inflammable' (flammable).
→
'Enflammé' for medical state; 'inflammable' for burnable material.
The spelling is very similar, but the meanings are completely different. 'Enflammé' describes a physical condition of redness and swelling. 'Inflammable' describes the property of being able to catch fire. For example, 'une plaie enflammée' (an inflamed wound) vs. 'un liquide inflammable' (a flammable liquid).
-
Incorrect gender/number agreement.
→
The adjective must agree with the noun.
Forgetting to change the ending of 'enflammé' based on the noun's gender and number is a common error. For example, it should be 'les yeux sont enflammés' (masculine plural), not 'les yeux sont enflammé'.
-
Using 'enflammé' for general redness or irritation.
→
Use 'rouge' for red, 'irrité' for irritated, and 'enflammé' when swelling and pain are also present.
'Enflammé' specifically denotes inflammation, which includes more than just redness. If something is only red, 'rouge' is sufficient. If it's just mildly uncomfortable, 'irrité' might be better. 'Enflammé' implies a more significant reaction.
-
Pronouncing the final 'é' incorrectly.
→
Pronounce the final 'é' as a clear 'ay' sound.
English speakers might sometimes drop or mispronounce the final 'é', making the word sound unclear or incorrect. Ensure it's a distinct sound, like the 'ay' in 'say'.
小贴士
Agreement is Key
Remember that 'enflammé' (or 'inflammé') is an adjective and must agree in gender and number with the noun it describes. So, you'll see 'enflammé', 'enflammée', 'enflammés', and 'enflammées'.
Prefer 'Enflammé'
While 'inflammé' is technically correct, 'enflammé' is the more common and natural-sounding adjective in French for describing inflammation. It's best to use 'enflammé' in most situations.
Distinguish from 'Inflammable'
Be very careful not to confuse 'enflammé' (inflamed) with 'inflammable' (flammable). The meanings are completely different and important to distinguish, especially in safety contexts.
Nasal Sounds Matter
Pay attention to the nasal vowel sound in 'en-' and ensure you pronounce the final 'é' clearly. Practice saying 'en-fla-MÉ' to get the stress and sound right.
Medical Context is Primary
This word is most frequently encountered in medical discussions, describing symptoms of injuries, infections, or diseases. Understanding this context will help you use and recognize it correctly.
Link to 'Flame'
Connect 'enflammé' to the concept of 'flame' or fire. Inflammation often involves redness and heat, reminiscent of a flame. This can help you recall its meaning.
Broader than 'Rouge'
'Enflammé' is more than just 'red'. It encompasses redness, swelling, and pain, indicating a specific physiological response. Use it when all these symptoms are present.
Sentence Building
Create sentences describing common ailments like a sore throat ('gorge enflammée') or a scraped knee ('genou enflammé') to practice using the word in context.
Common Usage Preference
While 'inflammé' is derived directly from Latin, French speakers overwhelmingly prefer 'enflammé' for the adjective meaning 'inflamed'. This is a linguistic evolution to be aware of.
Opposite of Healthy
The opposite of 'enflammé' is a state of health. Words like 'sain' (healthy) or 'guéri' (healed) describe the absence of inflammation.

Imagine a fire ('flamme') inside a body part, making it red and swollen. The 'in-' prefix suggests it's 'in' the body. So, 'in-flamme-d' means 'in the body, there's a flame' causing redness and swelling.

Try to describe a minor injury you've had recently using the word 'inflammé' (or 'enflammé') and other descriptive words like 'rouge', 'gonflé', and 'douloureux'.
词源
The word 'inflammé' derives from the Latin word 'inflammare', which means 'to set fire to' or 'to set alight'. This verb is composed of 'in-' (meaning 'in' or 'into') and 'flammare' (meaning 'to flame' or 'to burn'). The concept of 'flame' or 'fire' is central to its meaning, initially suggesting a burning sensation or intense heat, which evolved to describe the visible and physical signs of inflammation.
原始含义： To set fire to, to ignite, to burn.
Indo-European > Italic > Latin > Romance > French文化背景
The term is clinical and neutral, not offensive. However, it describes a state of discomfort or illness, so it should be used appropriately and with empathy when discussing someone's condition.
In English, the direct equivalent is 'inflamed', which is also used in medical and everyday contexts. The concept is identical.

常见问题
10 个问题While both technically mean 'inflamed', 'enflammé' is the much more common and preferred adjective in modern French. 'Inflammé' is the direct past participle of 'inflammer' and is correct, but 'enflammé' has largely replaced it in everyday and medical usage. For practical purposes, use 'enflammé'.
No, absolutely not. The French word for flammable is 'inflammable' (with an 'i'). 'Inflammable' means something that can catch fire. 'Enflammé' (or 'inflammé') means red, swollen, and painful due to inflammation. Confusing these could be dangerous.
You use 'enflammé' to describe a part of the body or tissue that is red, swollen, and painful. This is typically due to an injury, infection, or irritation. For example, 'J'ai la gorge enflammée' (I have an inflamed throat) or 'Mon genou est enflammé' (My knee is inflamed).
Yes, as an adjective, 'enflammé' must agree with the noun it describes. It becomes 'enflammé' (masculine singular), 'enflammée' (feminine singular), 'enflammés' (masculine plural), and 'enflammées' (feminine plural).
Primarily, 'enflammé' is used in a medical or physical sense. While the verb 'enflammer' can sometimes be used metaphorically (e.g., 'enflammer les foules' - to stir up the crowds), the adjective 'enflammé' itself is almost exclusively used for physical inflammation. For metaphorical 'heated' or 'passionate', other words are used.
The classic signs are redness (rougeur), swelling (gonflement), heat (chaleur), and pain (douleur). These are the key indicators that a part of the body is 'enflammé'.
Yes, especially if the inflammation is severe, persistent, accompanied by fever, or doesn't improve with basic care. A doctor can diagnose the cause of the inflammation and prescribe appropriate treatment.
'Infecté' means there's an invasion of harmful microorganisms. 'Enflammé' describes the body's reaction (redness, swelling, pain), which is often a response to infection, but can also be caused by injury or allergies. An infected wound is usually inflamed, but inflammation can occur without infection.
Think of the word 'flame' or 'fire'. When something is inflamed, it's like it has a little internal fire causing redness, swelling, and pain.
For general redness, you can use 'rouge'. For swelling, 'gonflé'. For pain, 'douloureux'. But 'enflammé' is the specific term that combines these symptoms to indicate inflammation.

Summary
The French adjective 'inflammé' (most commonly 'enflammé') describes a state of redness, swelling, and pain, typically caused by infection or injury. It is frequently used in medical contexts to denote inflammation of tissues or body parts. Remember to ensure grammatical agreement with the noun it modifies.
- Inflamed: red, swollen, painful, often from infection/injury.
- Common in medical contexts, everyday ailments, and descriptions of injuries.
- Ensure agreement with noun; 'enflammé' is more common than 'inflammé'.
- Distinguish from 'inflammable' (flammable).
Agreement is Key
Remember that 'enflammé' (or 'inflammé') is an adjective and must agree in gender and number with the noun it describes. So, you'll see 'enflammé', 'enflammée', 'enflammés', and 'enflammées'.
Prefer 'Enflammé'
While 'inflammé' is technically correct, 'enflammé' is the more common and natural-sounding adjective in French for describing inflammation. It's best to use 'enflammé' in most situations.
Distinguish from 'Inflammable'
Be very careful not to confuse 'enflammé' (inflamed) with 'inflammable' (flammable). The meanings are completely different and important to distinguish, especially in safety contexts.
Nasal Sounds Matter
Pay attention to the nasal vowel sound in 'en-' and ensure you pronounce the final 'é' clearly. Practice saying 'en-fla-MÉ' to get the stress and sound right.
