Même assis = even if you're sitting down, even seated.

Même debout is opposite.

oh

like levelled you mean

or flat

is that what you mean?

if something is même assis its exactly in level with the ground?

[wispy marten]

Like you put your butt on a chair or on (or close to) the ground.

If you're sitting down and still tripping over, then your agility is just so bad.

Because you're not supposed to trip over when you are sitting and thus not moving.

[wispy marten]

You mean like the body is horizontal from head to toe and laying on the ground? Then that would be allongé. Which isn't the same thing as assis.

You might describe a giant of a person as being 'tall, even when seated'. The 'even when seated' part is meant literally.

i finally understand thank you

i realised my confused came from not actually knowing the word trébuche

for some reason i just assumed it was the french word for trebuchet lmao

[wispy marten]

I see. It's the verb trébucher (trip over) here. The subject can be omitted in some cases, like here as a part of a descrption.

[quasi trout]

yeh that makes alot more sense lmao

also trébuchet already is the french word for trébuchet

not trébuche
