I.over1[Brit ˈəʊvə, Am ˈoʊvər]PRZYIM.Over is used after many verbs in English (change over, fall over, lean over etc.). For translations, consult the appropriate verb entry (change, fall, lean etc.). over is often used with another preposition in English (to, in, on) without altering the meaning. In this case over is usually not translated in French: to be over in France = être en France; to swim over to sb = nager vers qn. over is often used with nouns in English when talking about superiority (control over, priority over etc.) or when giving the cause of something (delays over, trouble over etc.). For translations, consult the appropriate noun entry (control, priority, delay, trouble etc.). over is often used as a prefix in verb combinations (overeat), adjective combinations (overconfident) and noun combinations (overcoat). These combinations are treated as headwords in the dictionary. For particular usages see the entry below.
I.get <part prés getting, prét got, part passé got, gotten Am>[ɡet]CZ.cz. przech.This much-used verb has no multi-purpose equivalent in French and therefore is very often translated by choosing a synonym: to get lunch = to prepare lunch = préparer le déjeuner. get is used in many idiomatic expressions (to get something off one's chest etc.) and translations will be found in the appropriate entry (chest etc.). This is also true of offensive comments (get stuffed etc.) where the appropriate entry would be stuff. Remember that when get is used to express the idea that a job is done not by you but by somebody else (to get a room painted etc.) faire is used in French followed by an infinitive (faire repeindre une pièce etc.). When get has the meaning of become and is followed by an adjective (to get rich/drunk etc.) devenir is sometimes useful but check the appropriate entry (rich, drunk etc.) as a single verb often suffices (s'enrichir, s'enivrer etc.). For examples and further uses of get see the entry below.
