Hi merdogan

"...full of..." would be better than "full with"

I've set a poll.

affectation? is it possible to make it plural? we should do it i think.

It cannot be "full of with", with has to go.

Yep, definitely need to remove "with".
And I didn't know 'affectation' was a word until now lol.
But I'm not sure whether the French 'artifice' would suggest more *deception* / trickery, than affectation, which a dictionary informs me means 'behaviour intended to impress' ?

Only full with or full of
Artifice = joy

full of, more than enough.

...full of affection

"My life is full of affectation". To use two prepositions like this isn't correct English.

yup, better without 'with'

I edited and took that "with" off.

you could have used another word ınstead of "affectation"

Hi all

Thanks Francky for the "with", I must have misexpla

I agree with you here that "affectation" does not seem adapted to the text.

The French dictionary "Le Petit Larousse Illustré" ed. 2004 defines the word "artifice" as a

"procedé ingénieux, habile pour tromper; ruse"

which translates as

"ingenious process, fit for deceiving"

Maybe it would be better to put

"My life is full of pretence"

What do you all think?

Perhaps "deception" or "deceits" would fit...

I guess pretence is a good idea Tantine

artifice is not affectation!

I think "affettazione" should be translated as "affection".

My life is full of affectations.
