English term

household item

English to French Marketing Retail
Contexte :
XXX averages over 9 million customers a month and sells everything from food to cosmetics to household items.

Faut-il comprendre ce terme ici comme "produits pour le ménage" ou "appareils électroménagers" ?

Merci d'avance pour vos suggestions.

Jocelyne S Jun 17, 2009:
With Tony To further Tony's comment (I don't know if an exact term exists in French), the term basically covers anything that you might need for the house. Think Ikea. To me, the term covers smaller rather than larger items (i.e. a plastic bin, a can opener, or dust pan rather than a sofa). Maybe you could get away with "divers articles pour la maison" if no French equivalent exists.
Tony M Jun 17, 2009:
household items Normally, would relate to anything used around the house: linen, brushes and brooms, plastic ware, possibly cooking utensils; and might well include cleaning products etc. (but is not exclusively that) — it would not normally be used to refer to 'domestic / household appliances' (petit et gros électroménager)

C'est bien évidemment pas le plus idiomatique que l'on puisse trouver mais cela a le mérite de rassembler plusieurs acceptions.

agree Tony M : I'm hardly really qualified to 'agree', but this seems to me consistent with 'linge de maison' (= household linen)

articles de ménage

Bonjour Laurent,

Pourquoi ne pas traduire "item" littéralement : "article de ménage" me semble un terme adéquat.

petite erreur : "Article" au singulier ;-)

Articles ménagers

"Articles ménagers" me semble approprié ici, dans le sens d'appareils ménagers mais également dans le sens d'ustensiles de cuisine.
