I'm not sure what "false-friend" means here. "Appreciated" is an adjective in this sentence: it's the past-participle form of "appreciate" (and so is like "apréciée", I think). Past participles can be used as adjectives. > Can one use "appreciated" in English in that context ? Yes, the same way you can say "I will be happy" or "The cat will be purple": "appreciated", "happy", and "purple" are all adjectives. However, I can't condone the original poster's use of "Tanks!" at the end of their message. :) John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
