bought second hand Explanation: recupere= can be bought, found or otherwise translated. More context is needed. could also be: picked up second hand d'occasion=second hand :) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-25 14:46:20 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- this seems to be a relaxed register so \"recupéré\" can be a number of things BUT NOT recuperated |

obtained second hand Explanation: Bought cannot be used in this context of 'la prime Balladur', which was a state subsidy paid for an old and virtually worthless second hand car that was traded in (as scrap, if I remember rightly) to a garage for the purchase a new car. |
