a share


Explanation:
en anglais, cela n'existe pas pour ce terme: collocation veut dire placement, place, position!
On dit pour un appartement: a share, aussi pour des lignes téléphoniques ou je ne sais, on dit share.
On peut trouver quelque chose avec
joint line rental ? c'est partager
ou louer une même ligne de téléphone, connexion internet etc... Le plus simple, c'est we share the same phone lign.
