Talk:être à l'arrêt

Seems pretty SoPpy to me. être + à + l' + arrêt. --WikiTiki89 16:14, 3 January 2013 (UTC)


 * At the very least, it should probably be moved to [[à l'arrêt]]. Oh, and the definition should be translated to English. (Currently it's in French-translationese, which means it can only be understood by people who already know the French expression — completely useless.) Is it “be at a standstill”? —Ruakh TALK 04:03, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * There isn't much difference between being at a stop and being at a standstill. Either way I would say that [[arrêt]] should be improved as it is incomprehensible (to me at least), with the sense of "standstill" added. --WikiTiki89 04:15, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I think there's a huge difference between being "at a stop" and being "at a standstill": the former means "located at a stop" (be it a stop sign, a stop light, a rest stop, or whatnot), while the latter means "making no progress". No? —Ruakh TALK 04:39, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I think "at a stop" can mean either of those. For some reason the latter is what it makes me think of first. --WikiTiki89 04:45, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep but definitely drop the être, in the same way we don't have be stationary. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:13, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
