German term or phrase: tief Luft holen Dans une brochure vantant les bienfaits d'une région touristique, ce titre :... Augen schließen... tief Luft holen... endlich Urlaub! ... Fermez les yeux... respirez... enfin les vacances ! Le *respirez* ne me plaît pas trop. Qu'en pensez-vous ?

soufflez Explanation: Je sais que c'est l'inverse de l'allemand, mais en français il est plus courant de dire qu'on "souffle" lorsqu'on prend des vacances ou qu'on fait une pause. Fermez les yeux... soufflez... vous êtes en vacances. Sinon, respirez n'est pas mal. Prenez une grande inspiration, inspirez... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 minutes (2008-10-08 09:34:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Voire simplement "détendez-vous".
