Bonjour,
alors la question est vraiment toute simple :
quelle est la différence entre beseeching et entreating ?
d'après le dictionnaire, les deux signifient "suppliant / implorant"...
0 % de nuance ?
Merci.

J'ai recontré ces deux termes avec le même contexte, celui de regards (glances). D'après les définitions que tu as mises, il semble que les deux adjectifs soit interchangeables. Cela rejoint ma première impression.
Merci Felin.
