French Translation Please

[Maydup]

Whats the everyday french phrase for senior citizen or OAP?

[Maydup]

Got it, thanks all.....and steering well clear of the translators.....
Le Troisieme age - Senior Citizen
tarif troisieme age - Senior Citizen Fare
Or like us, senior, when displayed on price lists.

[Obiter]

Nouns in apposition ARE allowed. The French for Queen Mother was La Reine-Mère.

[Maydup]

She was troisieme age for sure.

[Obiter]

Quatrième or even Cinquième, I would say.

[DTCwordfan]

A wrinkly I would have said, 'une ridée' which, with her love of horse-racing she would like.

[Peter Pedant]

for those nouns in apposition haters.....

I called in a favour for the French for "cheese munching surrender monkeys"

Hi Peter, ecrit un francais ....

Capitulard does existe in French but it is an old term not used anymore (and that personally I had never heard before). Surrender would be either qui se rendent, qui capitulent voire qui abandonne (to give up)

Munching does not have a straight forward translation in French as I believe it means eating but in a loud way , is that right? Grignoter or bouffer might be the closest in French.



So, altogether I would say les singes qui bouffent du fromage et capitulent

[Obiter]

Except I would replace 'du' with 'le' as we are talking about cheese in general and not just a portion of it.
