I'm translating passages from Le Malentendu and I'm quite perplexed by a lot of the grammar.
I'm stuck with:
'je suis de vous tenir en dehors de mes projets'
and
'j'ai d'humain n'est pas ce que j'ai de meilleur'
Hopefully someone here can help!
Tags:
'je suis de vous tenir en dehors de mes projets' is that the whole of the sentence?
Is there any of it missing at the beginning?I am not familiar with a construction "je suis de " followed by an infinitive
'ce que j'ai d'humain n'est pas ce que j'ai de meilleur'
I think ce que is missing from your quote
=literally what I have that is human is not what I have that is best.
