뜻
To have knowledge or information concerning a particular subject.
문화적 배경
In France, being 'renseigné' is a mark of intellectual respectability. During dinner parties, it is common to discuss complex social issues, and being 'mal renseigné' can lead to a loss of face in a debate. In Quebec, while 'être renseigné' is used, you might also hear 'être au courant' more frequently in semi-formal settings. There is also a slight influence from English 'informed', but the French structure remains dominant. In Francophone West Africa, formal French is often used with great precision in administrative contexts. 'Être renseigné' is frequently used in official letters and government communications. Belgian French uses 'être renseigné' similarly to France, but in some regions, 'savoir' is used where a French person would strictly use 'être au courant' or 'être renseigné'.
Use Adverbs
Always pair this with adverbs like 'bien', 'mal', or 'peu' to sound more like a native speaker.
Agreement Matters
In written French, forgetting the 'e' or 's' for feminine/plural subjects is a very noticeable error at the C1 level.
