et quelques autres petits plus

[Gourmay]

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to find the best equivalent to 'et quelques autres petits plus'.

The context is a list of things this electrical device has/can do.

'the X has [..] a tuner, a sampler and a few other little extras' is what I'm on so far...

Thanks!!

Perhaps you could give us the complete sentence?

I think that your translation works fine here Gourmay.

Broff...
Wow! I really thought something was missing...
-- Does this mean that FR plus = EN extra?
-- And why is petit in the singular?

In some contexts, yes, ''plus'' when used as a noun can mean ''extra''. For want of a better example, look at the WR Dictionary which gives the following:

He was tired, but found that little extra when asked to work late.
Il était fatigué, mais empochait un petit plus pour travailler plus tard.

As for your problem with petit - if you look again I think it's actually plural!

The translation seems perfect to me.

What was your whole French sentence?

I Don't think it'll help as it's exactly the same as the english translation I posted above with the bit I wasn't sure about in the end

'Le X a [..] un accordeur, un sampler et quelques autres petits plus.'
