المعنى الأصلي: To rest, to put to rest.
Romance, from Latin.السياق الثقافي
The French often use 'reposé' to describe someone who looks refreshed and well-slept. It's common to hear 'Tu as l'air reposé !' (You look rested!) as a compliment after a good night's sleep or a vacation. It implies a state of being mentally and physically rejuvenated, not just physically inactive.

10 أسئلةThe most common way to say 'rested' in French is reposé. It's an adjective that describes someone or something that has had rest.
Good question! While it's frequently used for people (e.g., Je suis reposé après une bonne nuit de sommeil. - I am rested after a good night's sleep.), you can also use it for things like a well-rested mind or even a dish that has been allowed to rest. For example, L'esprit est reposé. - The mind is rested.
Yes, it does! As an adjective, reposé needs to agree in gender and number with the noun it describes. So, you'll see:
- reposé (masculine singular)
- reposée (feminine singular)
- reposés (masculine plural)
- reposées (feminine plural)
That's a good distinction to make! Reposé specifically means having had rest or feeling refreshed after resting. Calme means calm, peaceful, or quiet. While someone who is rested might also be calm, the words describe different states. For example, Après la méditation, je me sens calme. - After meditation, I feel calm.
Not really in the same way you'd use it for a person. If you want to say a place is peaceful or quiet, you'd use words like calme (calm) or tranquille (tranquil). Reposé is more about the state of having been re-energized by rest.
You can use être (to be) with reposé. For example:
- Je suis reposé. - I am rested.
- Elle semble reposée. - She seems rested.
- Nous nous sentons reposés. - We feel rested.
Absolutely! The adjective reposé comes from the verb se reposer, which means 'to rest oneself' or 'to relax'. For example, Je dois me reposer. - I need to rest.
A good opposite for reposé would be words like fatigué (tired) or épuisé (exhausted). For example, Je suis très fatigué aujourd'hui. - I am very tired today.
Yes, it's a very common and natural word in everyday French. You'll hear it often in casual conversations. For example, Tu as l'air bien reposé ! - You look well rested!
One very common phrase is avoir l'air reposé(e), which means 'to look rested'. For example, Après ses vacances, il avait l'air très reposé. - After his vacation, he looked very rested.
