Fair enough?
Message de pitit-nutz posté le 11-02-2008 à 14:44:52 (S | E | F)
Hey everybody!
Hope you're spending good holidays![](https://www.anglaisfacile.com/images/smileys/content.gif)
I have just a small question... My English teacher often says "Fair enough", and I didn't find anywhere what it means.
Could someone translate me this expression please?
Good after-noon for all of you!

Si ton professeur te dit souvent " Fair enough" ,cela signifie que ce n'est pas mal du tout, mais pas tout à fait exact. Il faut chercher autre chose. Elle (il) salue l'intention pertinente de ta réponse.
Sinon,tu sais que "fair" et" unfair" s'emploient pour ce qui relève de la justice ou de l'injustice. "Fair enough" dans ce contexte reviendrait à dire : logique..cela en découle.
Il roulait sans permis et s'est fait "prendre" : fair enough!! Enjoy your holiday! violet

Actually, in French it would mean "Assez juste"? If we translate it word by word...
I'm sorry to disturb you just for an English expression, but I couldn't stand anymore not to know what it meant...

So, I wish you work well and hard before being in holidays

Fair enough (informal) 1- Used for accepting a suggestion,etc
2- Used for showing that you think that sth is reasonable

I think your teacher meant that everything was all right and that she was satisfied by your behaviours!!
