survivant(e), ferrailleur, combattant Explanation: the verb "to survive" is survivre and a person who survives is a survivant(e); however if you want to imply that this person is a survivor in the way that he is a fighter, then you would use "ferrailleur" (relates to the word for iron .. like a person with an iron will, or "combattant" meaning fighter. |

Dur à cuire Explanation: Si le sens recherché est celui d'une persone qui a vécu une expérience et y a survécu, alors "survivant" est correct. Si l'approche du texte porte plutôt sur un personnage haut en couleur, qui a vécu une longue expérience de coups durs alors il s'agit plutôt d'un "dur à cuire". |
