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.

Hm oui ?

Je ne suis pas sure de comprendre

[sour gale]

No one would think about silver unless the context was incredibly clear

[gritty orchid]

I mean like

My dictionary gives me "devoir de l'argent à quelqu'un" to mean theyre indebted to that person

But can it also mean indebted as in not about money but about a favour that someone did

Which youd have to return someday

[sour gale]

It's just about money
Maybe you could use it metaphorically? Never heard that though

[gritty orchid]

Ahh wow

Ty thank you

I ought to get a more modern dictionary maybe

or it's just a mistake / they overlooked it

Or didnt include many details

[sour gale]

Wordreference is generally good

[gritty orchid]

Ye i checked it there too

Helped a lot

Oh no i didnt check this one

[sour gale]

But yeah it's like
"I owe them money"
I suppose in English too you could use this as a joke/metaphor for meaning you owe them in general, so it wouldn't surprise me that much if someone did it in french, but it's certainly not the base meaning

[gritty orchid]

Hmmm

Okeh

Thanks for the insights

To say i am indebted to you
