French expressions analyzed and explained
Expression: En souffrance
Pronunciation: [a(n) soo fra(n)s]x
Meaning: pending, awaiting delivery
Literal translation: in suffering
Register : normal
Notes: The French expression en souffrance is usually a lot less painful than it sounds, as it just means "pending" or "awaiting delivery."x On the other hand, if you're waiting in agony for medicine, news of a loved one, or test results, en souffrance might be a lot more appropriate than its English translation.x
