en arrêt maladie
en arrêt maladie 30초 만에
- On sick leave, officially absent from work due to illness.
- Used to describe a formal, medically certified absence from employment.
- Implies a doctor's note and inability to perform work duties.
- Common in workplace communication and administrative contexts.
- Core Meaning
- The phrase 'en arrêt maladie' is used to indicate that an individual is officially not working because they are unwell. This is a common situation in professional life, and it implies that the person has likely seen a doctor and received a medical certificate to justify their absence.
- Contexts of Use
- You will hear this phrase in workplaces, when colleagues discuss someone's absence, or when someone informs their employer about their situation. It's a standard way to communicate that an employee is taking time off due to illness. For example, a manager might say, 'Sophie est en arrêt maladie cette semaine.' (Sophie is on sick leave this week.) It can also be used in more general conversations about health and work, such as when discussing the impact of illness on productivity.
- Formal vs. Informal
- While the phrase itself is quite standard, the way it's communicated can vary. Informally, someone might simply say 'Je ne viens pas aujourd'hui, je suis malade' (I'm not coming in today, I'm sick). However, 'en arrêt maladie' is the official term used in administrative contexts, such as when filling out forms or reporting to HR. It's important to understand this phrase because it's very common in French professional environments. You might also hear it in news reports discussing workforce issues or public health. The duration can vary from a few days to several months, depending on the severity of the illness. It's a recognized status that often comes with specific legal and financial implications for both the employee and the employer.
Mon collègue est en arrêt maladie depuis lundi dernier.
- Basic Structure
- The most common structure is 'être en arrêt maladie'. This means 'to be on sick leave'. You can use this with a subject pronoun or a noun.
- Indicating Duration
- You can specify how long someone has been on sick leave or when they will return. Phrases like 'depuis [time]' (since [time]) or 'jusqu'au [date]' (until [date]) are useful here. For instance, 'Il est en arrêt maladie depuis une semaine.' (He has been on sick leave for a week.)
- Reporting Absence
- When informing your employer or colleagues, you might say: 'Je dois rester chez moi, je suis en arrêt maladie.' (I have to stay home, I am on sick leave.) Or, more formally, 'Madame Dubois est en arrêt maladie pour une durée indéterminée.' (Mrs. Dubois is on sick leave for an indefinite period.)
- Discussing Others
- You can also talk about other people. 'Nous espérons que Paul se rétablira vite, il est en arrêt maladie.' (We hope Paul recovers quickly, he is on sick leave.)
- Connecting to the Cause
- Sometimes, the reason for the illness might be briefly mentioned, though 'en arrêt maladie' itself doesn't specify the ailment. For example, 'Elle est en arrêt maladie à cause d'une grippe sévère.' (She is on sick leave due to a severe flu.)
Malheureusement, le directeur est en arrêt maladie cette semaine.
- Workplace Conversations
- This is the most common place to encounter 'en arrêt maladie'. Colleagues might ask, 'Where is Jean?' and the reply could be, 'Il est en arrêt maladie.' (He is on sick leave.) Managers use it when informing teams about an absence or when explaining staffing changes due to illness.
- Human Resources and Administration
- Official documents, emails to HR, or discussions with the human resources department will frequently use this term. It's the official designation for an employee's absence due to sickness.
- Doctor's Offices and Medical Centers
- While the phrase is used by the patient, the doctor is the one who issues the 'arrêt maladie' (sick leave certificate). So, you might hear doctors discussing it with patients, or patients referring to the certificate they received.
- News and Media
- News reports about labor issues, public health crises, or the impact of widespread illness on the economy might mention employees being 'en arrêt maladie'.
- Social Media and Personal Communication
- People might share updates about their health status on social media or in personal messages, saying something like, 'Je suis désolé, je ne pourrai pas venir à la fête, je suis en arrêt maladie.' (I'm sorry, I won't be able to come to the party, I'm on sick leave.)
Le médecin a confirmé que je suis en arrêt maladie pour dix jours.
- Confusing with 'Malade' Alone
- A common mistake is to just say 'Je suis malade' (I am sick) when you mean 'Je suis en arrêt maladie'. While 'Je suis malade' is perfectly fine for explaining why you can't attend a social event, 'en arrêt maladie' specifically implies a formal absence from work, usually with a doctor's note. For example, saying 'Je suis malade' to your boss might be understood, but using 'Je suis en arrêt maladie' is more precise and professional in that context.
- Using the Wrong Verb
- Learners might try to use other verbs like 'avoir' (to have) or 'prendre' (to take) incorrectly. The standard and correct structure is 'être en arrêt maladie'. So, you would say 'Il est en arrêt maladie', not 'Il a un arrêt maladie' (though 'un arrêt maladie' is the noun for the certificate) or 'Il prend un arrêt maladie'.
- Overusing the Noun 'Arrêt Maladie'
- 'Arrêt maladie' can also refer to the actual medical certificate itself. Learners might mistakenly use the noun when they intend to use the idiomatic expression. For instance, saying 'Je suis un arrêt maladie' is incorrect. The correct phrase to indicate you are on sick leave is 'Je suis en arrêt maladie'. You might say 'J'ai reçu mon arrêt maladie' (I received my sick leave certificate).
- Applying it to Non-Work Absences
- This phrase is strictly for work-related absences. You wouldn't say 'Je suis en arrêt maladie' if you're missing a friend's birthday party because you have a cold, unless that cold is severe enough to warrant a doctor's note and a formal absence from work. It's about professional status.
- Misunderstanding the 'Formal' Aspect
- Some learners might think it's just a casual way to say they're sick. However, 'en arrêt maladie' implies a formal procedure has been followed, typically involving a doctor's visit and a medical certificate submitted to the employer. Forgetting this formal aspect can lead to misunderstandings.
Incorrect: J'ai un arrêt maladie pour le week-end. Correct: Je suis en arrêt maladie depuis vendredi.
- 'Malade' (Adjective)
- This is the most basic word for 'sick'. You can say 'Je suis malade' (I am sick). While 'en arrêt maladie' implies sickness, 'malade' alone doesn't necessarily mean you're on official sick leave from work. You use 'malade' for any kind of sickness, whether work-related or not.
Example: 'Il est malade et reste à la maison.' (He is sick and stays home.) vs. 'Il est en arrêt maladie.' (He is on sick leave - implying work absence). - 'Être absent(e)' (To be absent)
- This is a general term for not being present. You can be absent for many reasons: vacation, personal appointment, or illness. 'En arrêt maladie' is a specific type of absence.
Example: 'Elle est absente aujourd'hui.' (She is absent today.) This could be for any reason. 'Elle est en arrêt maladie.' (She is on sick leave - specifically due to illness). - 'Congé de maladie' (Sick leave - noun)
- This noun refers to the concept or period of sick leave. You might hear 'prendre un congé de maladie' (to take sick leave). 'En arrêt maladie' is the state of *being* on that leave.
Example: 'J'ai demandé un congé de maladie.' (I requested sick leave.) vs. 'Je suis en arrêt maladie.' (I am currently on sick leave.) - 'Arrêt de travail' (Work stoppage/cessation of work - noun)
- This is a broader term that can refer to any cessation of work, including strikes or other forms of industrial action, as well as sick leave. 'Arrêt maladie' is a specific type of 'arrêt de travail'.
Example: 'Il y a un arrêt de travail dans l'usine.' (There is a work stoppage in the factory.) vs. 'Il est en arrêt maladie.' (He is on sick leave). - 'Indisposition' (Indisposition/slight illness - noun)
- This refers to a minor feeling of being unwell, often not serious enough to warrant a formal sick leave. It's less severe than what typically leads to an 'arrêt maladie'.
Example: 'J'ai une légère indisposition ce matin.' (I have a slight indisposition this morning.) This usually doesn't mean you're on sick leave.
'Je suis en arrêt maladie' is more specific than 'Je suis absent'.
How Formal Is It?
재미있는 사실
The concept of formal sick leave has evolved significantly over centuries. Initially, employers had little obligation towards sick workers. The establishment of social security systems and labor laws in the late 19th and early 20th centuries formalized concepts like 'arrêt maladie' to protect workers and ensure a basic level of income during illness.

The phrase 'en arrêt maladie' is a combination of two French words. 'Arrêt' comes from the verb 'arrêter' (to stop) and signifies a halt or cessation. 'Maladie' means illness or sickness. Together, they literally mean 'in a stop of sickness', evolving into the idiomatic meaning of being on sick leave.
원래 의미: The literal meaning is 'in a stop of sickness'.
