Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

dans un instant -> you'll have to wait an instant
en un instant -> it will happen instantly

ohhhh

so for the second one its kinda like a synonym for "immédiatement"?

[tribal shuttle]

dans + [time period] = how far in the future it will happen from now
en + [time period] = how much time it will take to happen

J'ai couru mon dernier marathon en quatre heures. Je courrai le prochain dans trois mois.

ohh from now for dans

if i want to say "dans le futur quand nous achetons des choses en ligne, elles vont arriver en un instant"

en un instant is instantly here so i hope i used it correctly
