les professeurs le savant

[sunshh]

Personne n'est capable de rester toute une journée devant ses livres, et les professeurs le savant.
I can't understand the second part of the sentence. Does "le" refers to the whole clause above? and is "savant" an adjective or a noun?
Please help me translate.

I think there is a typo : ...et les professeurs le savent

Yes, le refers to the whole clause

I think there is a typo : ...et les professeurs le savent

Yes, le refers to the whole clause

If it's a typo, it will mean "so the techers know this"?

Yes it's a typo...

"Personne n'est capable de rester toute une journée devant ses livres, et les professeurs le savent."

"the teachers know this" is the meaning.

I think the closest translation would be : "and teachers know it" or "know that" but what does the rest of the sentence look like ? because if it is not the end of the sentence that could change everything.

Hello,
Then I'd suggest : "Nobody can stay a whole day in front of (his) books, and teachers know that!"
Hope it helps
