Talk:attacher à la même réalité

I added this because it is an especially tricking idiom. It is interesting because it illustrates that French is a more abstract language than English. It is one of the effects of having peasants/farmers being the chief guardians of the English language for some 330 years (1066-1399), 1066, being the year of the Norman conquest and 1399, being the date the first king, Henry IV, speaking English as a native language, ascended the throne after the conquest.

 * I wonder if "sing from the same hymnbook" could be a fair translation. Equinox ◑ 18:28, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Yes, that would be a fair translation. You should add it.Albertde (talk) 02:12, 18 July 2016 (UTC) On second thought, the problem with expressions like "be on the same page, sing from the same songbook" is that they imply agreement as opposed to understanding.Albertde (talk) 13:02, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete not sure if this is idiomatic, but if it were it should probably be . —Jberkel 14:23, 19 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Take to RFV and/or move to attaché à la même réalité if necessary. Quickly googling suggests it may be real, but that connecté à la même réalité appears to be somewhat more common. —Mahāgaja · talk 14:58, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Incomprehensible. Delete SemperBlotto (talk) 05:37, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * It is about as comprehensible as English grounded in the same reality, which, however, is a SOP. It is an elaboration of to ground in reality (“My experience is grounded in reality, your experience is grounded in reality, but are they grounded in the same reality?”) In proper French one would use ancrer dans la (même) réalité here, though. --Lambiam 09:44, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
