Chock full
Message de hanifa posté le 23-11-2010 à 00:14:23 (S | E | F)
Hello everybody,
Notrepere has posted a response about the violet's topic, and he wrote her :
"chock full an interestings tidbits."
This is my translation : Une foule de détails intéressants. Am I right?
I didn't understand what did he meant.
Could anyone explain to me, please?
Moreover, if you put me in the picture (éclairer ma lanterne) notrepere, that will be great.
Many thanks in advance.
Hanifa

Hello hanifa!
It should be "chock-full of interesting tidbits". I can't help you with the translation, but here's what some dictionaries say:
Lien Internet

Lien Internet

chock-full: full to the limit; crammed. Lien Internet

Also: chock-a-block
tidbit: Lien Internet

a choice or pleasing bit of anything, as news or gossip.
Good luck!

Hi Notrepere and Hi Lucile,

Thank you for your answer. And Lucile thanks for correcting me, I can see that I make less faults. ;o)

Have a nice day both of you.

Je dirais plutôt fewer errors, less étant accepté à l'oral dans ce cas, mais ça me choque un peu.

Hello Lucile,

Thank you, but what is the difference exactly between "less" and "fewer"?

I don't understand.

It is kind from you, to take time to answer us, and correct us.
