Definition & Description of Vénère

“Vénère” is French slang that means “angry” or “upset.” It comes from verlan, the French style of flipping syllables, and is derived from the word énervé (meaning irritated or annoyed).

When someone says they are vénère, it means they’re more than just slightly annoyed — they’re properly angry. It’s stronger than relou (annoying), and it usually describes a person’s mood rather than a situation.

The term is casual, expressive, and very common among young people, especially in urban areas. It’s often used in conversations, music, and media. Because it’s slang, you wouldn’t normally use it in formal French, but in everyday talk, it’s perfectly natural.

Examples of Vénère
