almost all of (it) Explanation: Should we consider the sentence closing position of the french compound noun ''quasi-totalité'' in the context of the current sentence, I would say there is a difficulty to deal with it due to the fact that it ends the sentence. The sentence building just avoids the use of a second use of ''pourcentage'' after ''quasi-totalité''. It could have been easier to translate ''la quasi-totalité de ce pourcentage'' which means ''almost 100%''. Hence, avoiding the use of ''percentage'' another time in the same sentence, ''almost all of it'' is the best formulae. https://fr.pons.com/traduction/fran%C3%A7ais-anglais/quasi-totalit%C3%A9 |
