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
Examples:x
Votre commande est en souffrance
Your order is held up/awaiting
delivery.x
Voici les dossiers en
souffrance.x
Here are the pending files.x
