puissance comparée

Sylvain Lourme Feb 15, 2011:

Ah, it all makes sense now! I should have thought of it with the Spanish "comprada"!

Jack Dunwell (asker) Feb 15, 2011:

Sylvain I just tried Romanian, and of course Sangro popped up "cumparata" means "purchased" it seems
So there we are.

Jack Dunwell (asker) Feb 15, 2011:

I think you're right Sylvain I'll try Romanian into English and let you know!!

Sylvain Lourme Feb 15, 2011:

Oh I see, ...well sorry my Romanian isn't as good as I wish it was. Ha! More seriously, I think the lack of response here seems to indicate a general ignorance, or what's more likely, that the term "comparée" just doesn't mean much in French in this context. Couldn't it be translated as "relative"? Just a thought.

Jack Dunwell (asker) Feb 15, 2011:

Thank you Sylvain This may be because the French is translated from Romanian, so its " puterea instalata/cumparata" in the original original! I wonder if it might be all of a one..." compared installed capacity (but I still don't know what it means)

Sylvain Lourme Feb 15, 2011:

Pas foule pour répondre! Je ne comprends pas bien ce que ça veut dire. Le signe "/ "laisse penser que le mot "comparée" pourrait être une autre façon de dire la même chose qu'installée, mais c'est curieux. Il faudrait savoir à quoi c'est comparé...tu as plus de contexte ou d'explications ? Ca n'est pas dur très bon français " comparée totale maximale" ouf, n'en jetez plus !
