Last night, fyi, I did propose: "I've already been investing heavily in these products".

I just didn't understand the context last night, and still not sure...lol


Best of luck!

That helps us. You could say "I buy alot of XXX's products" but Veronica's suggestion is closer to the French I think

It has to do with a large automotive part dealer. It could muiltinational. It would be the customer speaking to the dealer. I can't really divulge too much of the context without breaching confidentiality. Certainly Tony and Veronica seem to be on the right track with "large investment or allocating a large portion of the budget" - the customer goes on to say that he/she should be getting some kind of discount after that - especially if they increase their investment.

We need to know who is saying this. Is he/she a customer buying oranges from a store, or a multinational investing in expensive commodities? Get my drift?

Daniel, in order to answer correctly, we need to understand more of your context. Who is speaking to whom, and of what is this a 'part'? These factors are likely to influence the choice of verb, and in EN it may be necessary to re-insert the 'missing' noun;

"I am already devoting a great deal of my time to..."
"I am already allocating a large proportion of my budget to..."

I really don't understand the context very well, I must say.

Do they mean "J'accorde déjà une place importante aux produits" or "J'accorde déjà une part importante au développement de ces produits"?
