1. DEMONSTRATIVE ADJECTIVE

In the past the standard spelling for [ese/esa] and [aquel/aquella] used as pronouns (as when they are used to translate [that one]) was with an accent ([ése/ésa] and [aquél/aquélla]). Nowadays the [Real Academia Española] advises that the accented forms are only required where there might otherwise be confusion with the adjectives [este/esta] and [aquel/aquella].

Note that in the past the standard spelling for the masculine and feminine pronouns was with an accent (ése/ésa and aquél/aquélla). Nowadays the Real Academia Española advises that the accented forms are only required where there might otherwise be confusion with the adjectives ese/esa and aquel/aquella. Neuter pronouns never carry an accent. (nearer) ese m, esa f, ése m, ésa f, eso (neuter) ; (more remote) aquel(la) m / f, aquél(la) m / f, aquello (neuter)

If the that clause is the subject of another verb it is usual to translate that as el que rather than que especially if it starts the sentence:
that he did not know surprised me — (el) que no lo supiera me extrañó, me extrañó (el) que no lo supiera
In these cases the verb which follows will be in the subjunctive:

would

Notez cependant qu'à l'oral, on prononce "Monday the twenty-fifth of December…". En anglais américain, le mois est indiqué avant le jour. On écrira ainsi "Monday December 25 2000" et, en abrégé, "12.25.00", et on prononcera "December twenty-five".

English-Portuguese dictionary > after
12 Date

Where English has several ways of writing dates, such as May 10, 10 May, 10th May etc. French has only one generally accepted way: le 10 mai, ( say le dix mai). However, as in English, dates in French may be written informally: 10.5.68 or 31/7/65 etc.

The general pattern in French is:

le cardinal number month year

le 10 mai 1901

But if the date is the first of the month, use premier, abbreviated as 1er:

May 1st 1901

= le 1er mai 1901

Note that French does not use capital letters for months, or for days of the week ⇒ The months of the year and ⇒ The days of the week ; also French does not usually abbreviate the names of the months:

Sept 10

= le 10 septembre etc.

If the day of the week is included, put it after the le:

Monday, May 1st 1901

= le lundi 1er mai 1901

Monday the 25th

= lundi 25 ( say lundi vingt-cinq)

Saying and writing dates

what’s the date?

= quel jour sommes-nous?

it’s the tenth

= nous sommes le dix or (less formally) on est le dix

it’s the tenth of May

= nous sommes le dix mai or (less formally) on est le dix mai

* (i) There are two ways of saying hundreds and thousands in dates:

1968

= mille neuf cent soixante-huit or dix-neuf cent soixante-huit

(ii) The spelling mil is used in legal French, otherwise mille is used in dates, except when a round number of thousands is involved, in which case the words l’an are added:

1900

= mille neuf cents

2000

= l’an deux mille

† French prefers Roman numerals for centuries:

the 16th century

= le XVIe

Saying on

French uses only the definite article, without any word for on:

it happened on 6th March

= c’est arrivé le 6 mars ( say le six mars)

he came on the 21st

= il est arrivé le 21 ( say le vingt et un)

see you on the 6th

= on se voit le 6 ( say le six)

on the 2nd of every month

= le 2 de chaque mois ( say le deux...)

he’ll be here on the 3rd

= il sera là le 3 ( say le trois)

Saying in

French normally uses en for years but prefers en l’an for out-of-the-ordinary dates:

in 1968

= en 1968 ( say en mille neuf cent soixante-huit or en dix-neuf cent…)

in 1896

= en 1896 ( say en mille huit cent quatre-vingt-seize or en dix-huit cent…)

in the year 2000

= en l’an deux mille

in AD 27

= en l’an 27 ( say l’an vingt-sept) de notre ère

in 132 BC

= en l’an 132 ( say l’an cent trente-deux) avant Jésus-Christ

With names of months, in is translated by en or au mois de:

in May 1970

= en mai mille neuf cent soixante-dix or au mois de mai mille neuf cent soixante-dix

With centuries, French uses au:

in the seventeenth century

= au dix-septième siècle

The word siècle is often omitted in colloquial French:

in the eighteenth century

= au dix-huitième siècle or (less formally) au dix-huitième

Note also:

in the early 12th century

= au début du XIIe siècle ( say du douzième siècle)

in the late 14th century

= à or vers la fin du XIVe siècle ( say du quatorzième siècle)

Phrases

Remember that the date in French always has the definite article, so, in combined forms, au and du are required:

from the 10th onwards

= à partir du 10 ( say du dix)

stay until the 14th

= reste jusqu’au 14 ( say au quatorze)

from 21st to 30th May

= du 21 au 30 mai ( say du vingt et un au trente mai)

around 16th May

= le 16 mai environ/vers le 16 mai ( say le seize mai) or aux environs du seize mai ( say du seize mai)

not until 1999

= pas avant 1999 ( say mille neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuf)

Shakespeare (1564-1616)

= Shakespeare (1564-1616) ( say Shakespeare, quinze cent soixante-quatre-seize cent seize)

Shakespeare b. 1564 d.1616

= Shakespeare, né en 1564, mort en 1616 ( say Shakespeare, né en quinze cent soixante-quatre, mort en seize cent seize).

Note that French has no abbreviations for né and mort.

in May ’45

= en mai 45 ( say en mai quarante-cinq)

in the 1980s

= dans les années 80 ( say dans les années quatre-vingts)

in the early sixties

= au début des années 60 ( say des années soixante)

in the late seventies

= à la fin des années 70 ( say des années soixante-dix)

the riots of ’68

= les émeutes de 68 ( say de soixante-huit)

the 14-18 war

= la guerre de 14 or de 14-18 ( say de quatorze or de quatorze-dix-huit)

the 1912 uprising

= le soulèvement de 1912 ( say de mille neuf cent douze)

Dictionnaire Français-Anglais > terme
16 lög-maðr

m. [old Swed. lagman; the president of the supreme court formerly held in Orkney was called the lagman]:—‘law-man.’ In the ancient Scandinavian kingdoms each legal community or state (lög) had its own laws, its own parliament (lögþing), and its own ‘law-man’ (lagh-mann, lögmaðr); the lagman was the first commoner and the spokesman of the people against the king and court at public assemblies or elsewhere; he was also the guardian of the law, and the president of the legislative body and of the law courts. As in the heathen time laws were not written, the lagman had to say what was the law of the land in any case of doubt; in the general assemblies, at least in Iceland, he had to ‘say’ the law (from memory) to the assembled people from the Law-hill (Lögbergi); hence in the Icelandic Commonwealth he was called lög-sögu-maðr (q. v.), the ‘law-speaker,’ ‘law-sayer,’ ‘speaker of the law,’ and his office lög-saga or lög-sögn = ‘law-speaking:’

1. Sweden and Gothland in olden times were the classical lands of lagmen, for the whole kingdom was a confederation of commonwealths, each with its parliament, law-speaker, and laws, who were all of them united under one king; see the various records in the old Swedish laws, Sveriges Gamla Lagar, as edited by Schlyter, as also the classical account given of lagman Thorgny in Ó. H. ch. 60 sqq.—í hverri þessi deild landsins er sitt lögþing, ok sín lög, yfir hverjum lögum er lögmaðr, … þat skulu lög vera sem hann réð upp at kveða; en ef konungr, eða jarl, eða byskupar fara yfir land ok eigu þing við búendr, þá svarar lögmaðr af hendi búenda …; aðrir lögmenn allir skulu vera undir-menn þess lögmanns er á Tíunda-landi er, Ó. H. 65.

2. in Norway the political institutions of the old patriarchal ages were greatly disturbed through the wars and conquest of Harald Fairhair; the ancient laws of Norway too have been preserved in a much more fragmentary state than those of Sweden; of some of the most interesting laws only the eccl. section has been preserved, often in Icelandic transcripts or abridged. The most interesting records of the lagmen are therefore not to be found in the Norse laws, but in the Sagas, e. g. the debates in the Hák. S. Gamla, ch. 71–80, 85–97 (in the Flatey book), as also in the Þinga-þáttr in Fms. vii. 123–150, and in stray passages in the Icelandic Sagas, in such phrases as lögmenn ok konungr, lögmenn ok dómendr, lenda menn ok lögmenn ok alla alþýðu, Eg. 352.

3. in the later Middle Age in Norway, and in Icel. after 1280, the lagman was a justice, who presided in the court lögrétta, at the lögþing (II), cp. Jb. passim.

4. in the Icelandic Commonwealth, the officer whose duties have been described above was specially called lögsögumaðr, and lögmaðr is only used = lagamaðr = a lawyer,—þat er ok, at lögsögumaðr skal svá görla þáttu alla upp segja, at engi viti einna miclogi görr, en ef honum vinsk eigi fróðleikr til þess, þá skal hann eiga stefnu við fimm lögmenn (lawyers, men skilled in law), en næstu dægr áðr, eðr fleiri, Grág. i. 2, 3; þat skal allt hafa er finnsk á skr þeirri er Hafliði lét göra … en þat eitt af annarra lögmanna fyrirsögn ( of other lawyers) er eigi mæli því í gegn, 7; Njáll var lögmaðr svá mikill ( so great a lawyer), at eingi fannsk hans jafningi, Nj. 30. At the union with Norway (A. D. 1272) the lögsögu-maðr of the Commonwealth was replaced by two lagmen of the Norse kind, so that in the Sagas composed after that date (e. g. the Grettla) or in Sagas preserved in later transcripts, the terms were now and then confounded, and ‘lögmaðr’ was, by way of anachronism, used of the lögsögu-maðr of the old Commonwealth, cp. Grett. 64, 115, 173, 191 new Ed., Nj. 24, 164, 237 (v. l.), Eg. 597, Ísl. (Gunnl. S.) ii. 208, 238, 256, Bs. i. (Hungrv.) 62, Fms. iv. 115, 176, where the Ó. H. edition has the true reading, being made from a vellum of the Commonwealth time.

β. two instances are recorded referring to the 10th century in Iceland, where a lögmaðr occurs as a kind of county sheriff or officer, viz. in the Háv. S. (begin.) and the Svarfdæla S. ch. 10; but both records seem to be spurious and adapted to the state of things in Norway, for neither Saga is preserved in its pure original state, but remoulded after the union; see Maurer’s Entstehung des Isl. Staates, Beiträge, 136 sqq. In Scandinavia during the Middle Ages, as the power of the king increased, so that of the old lagman sank, and at last died away. In England it is preserved in the Speaker of the House of Commons, whose very name recalls to mind the law-speaker of the old Scandinavian communities.

II. a pr. name, Lög-maðr, Orkn.

COMPDS: lögmannsdæmi, lögmannseiðr, lögmannslauss, lögmannsúrskurðr.

ⓘ Do not pass go, (do not collect £200/$200) Au Monopoly les joueurs tirent parfois une carte qui les envoie sur la case "prison". Sur cette carte sont inscrits les mots do not pass go, do not collect £200 (ou bien do not collect $200 s'il s'agit de la version américaine). Cette phrase, dont la version française est "ne passez pas par la case départ, ne recevez pas 20 000 francs", est utilisée de façon allusive et sur le mode humoristique dans différents contextes: on dira par exemple you do that again and you're going straight to jail, Bill. Do not pass go, do not collect $200 ("refais ça, Bill, et je t'assure que tu iras droit en prison). On peut également utiliser cette expression lorsque quelqu'un essaie de mener un projet à bien mais rencontre des obstacles: the country is trying hard to get back on its feet but because of the civil war it has not even been allowed to pass go, let alone collect £200 ("le pays fait de son mieux pour se rétablir mais la guerre civile n'arrange rien, bien au contraire").

ⓘ Go ahead, make my day C'est la formule prononcée par l'inspecteur Harry Callahan (incarné par Clint Eastwood) dans le film Sudden Impact (1983) lorsqu'il se trouve confronté à un gangster. Il s'agit d'une façon d'encourager le bandit à se servir de son arme afin de pouvoir l'abattre en état de légitime défense: "allez, vas-y, fais-moi plaisir". On utilise cette formule par allusion au film et en réaction à une personne qui vient de proférer des menaces. Ainsi, le président Reagan s'en servit en s'adressant à des travailleurs qui menaçaient de se mettre en grève.
