admissible


Explanation:
Bonjour,

juste un petit mot quant à "eligible". En anglais, cela veut dire "avoir droit à". Le terme français, "éligible" a à voir avec "élire" ou "élection". Il s'agit donc de ce qu'on appelle "false cognates" ou, eh oui, faux amis, terme homologué en français.

Éligible = Qui remplit les conditions nécessaires pour pourvoir être élu (Dico Hachette)

Eligible = someone who is eligible for something is qualified or suitable to take part in it, receive it, or be connected with it, for example because they are of the correct age. EG : you may even be eligible for a grand to help you study... not all applicants are legally eligible to work in the U.S. (Collins Cobuild)

Admissible = qualifié pour, qui a droit à (Dictionnaire des anglicismes, Le Colpron, GB Beauchemin)

Par exemple, la situation d'un candidat admissible...

J'espère que cela vous sera utile, et je vous souhaite une bonne journée!
