This term generally refers to commodities that are grown, rather than mined. Soft commodities play a major part in the futures market. They are used both by farmers wishing to lock-in the future prices of their crops, and by speculative investors seeking a profit. |

| soft monnaie/devise faible Explanation: Given the list that you have, there are several possibilities so you need to ask the client. Sylvie has already given a translation for soft commodity. I'm adding one for soft currency. Wikipedia - Soft • Soft commodity, commodity that is grown, rather than mined • Soft count, process for counting banknotes in a casino or bank • Soft currency, form of money in use around the world • Soft Kiwi,a currency trader in NYC ,known to be soft at times. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft Soft currency indicates a type of currency whose value may depreciate rapidly or that is difficult to convert into other currencies. It is generally less desirable than hard currency to users. Soft currency can be in the form of paper, electronic or debt-based "IOUs" which have in the past been used in place of hard currency. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_currency soft currency: soft currency - monnaie/devise faible http://www.wordreference.com/enfr/soft currency -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day4 hrs (2008-08-19 20:19:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Additional references: Nondurable goods or **soft goods** are the opposite of durable goods. They may be defined either as goods that are used up when used once, or that have a lifespan of less than 3 years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_goods Un bien durable est un bien d'une certaine importance et qui est utilisable pendant plus d'un an. Il s'agit • soit d'un bien d'équipement pour une entreprise : machine, meuble de bureau... • soit d'un bien de consommation durable pour un ménage (véhicule, mobilier, équipement ménager...) http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bien_durable links to Biens de consummation • Biens et services qui se consomment en une seule fois (pain, électricité du logement,...) ; • Biens semi-durables: ils durent quelque temps mais s'usent assez rapidement ; • Biens durables au plein sens du terme que l'on peut utiliser durant de nombreuses années (réfrigérateur, automobile,...). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day4 hrs (2008-08-19 20:20:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bien_de_consommation -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day4 hrs (2008-08-19 20:27:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Info on soft money (though I think that it is less likely) At the federal level, the primary source of campaign funds is individuals; political action committees are a distant second. Contributions from both are limited. These regulated donations are often referred to as hard money. Corporations and trade unions are prohibited from contributing to a candidate or candidate's campaign committee. **Soft money** is funds spent by organizations (such as 527 groups) that are not contributed directly to candidate campaigns or political parties, and which do not "expressly advocate" the election or defeat of a candidate. Soft adj (political contributions: indirect) subventions public adj Because this is soft money, we can't use it directly for the campaign. Comme ce sont des fonds publics, nous ne pouvons pas les utiliser directement pour la campagne. http://www.wordreference.com/enfr/soft money -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day5 hrs (2008-08-19 20:31:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Correction, Sylvie gave a translation for soft goods and Christiane and Stéphanie gave information for soft commodities. |
