français term

se contracte de

Non-PRO français vers anglais Affaires / Finance Finance (général) Rental properties in France
The context is as follows:

“L’activité locative reste modérée en Ile-de-France mais les signes de redressement sont forts à Paris où la demande placée a doublé en l’espace de douze mois. Dans le QCA, certaines transactions ont de nouveau franchi le seuil de XXX€/m²/an”

Les performances locatives enregistrées par l’Ile-de-France au 1er trimestre 2010 ne montrent pas de reprise généralisée de l’activité. Le marché ***se contracte de*** XX.X% (+X.X% g.a.) avec XXX.XXX m² de bureaux commercialisés.

Many thanks in advance for your help, which is greatly appreciated.

Jun 11, 2010 02:05: Travelin Ann changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Non-PRO (3): mediamatrix (X), Claire Nolan, Travelin Ann

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
