français term
popote
français vers anglais
Autre
Général / conversation / salutations / correspondance
colloquial French
As an adjectif, it means someone very calm who likes staying at home, dislikes the unexpected. Could "stay-at-home" a good translation as an adjective ? Ex: L'homme numeque reste au fond tres popote
