The spelling of the word "fumons" may seem confusing without proper knowledge of IPA phonetic transcription. The word is pronounced as /fjumɔ̃/ in French, where the letter "u" has a sound resembling a "yu" in English. The nasal sound produced by the letter "on" is typically heard in French words to denote nasal vowels, as in "bonjour" (/bɔ̃ʒuʀ/). "Fumons" also ends with "s," which indicates the first-person plural form of the verb "fumer," meaning "to smoke."
