Usage Note

Remise has two common meanings: a price reduction (une remise de dix pour cent, 'a ten percent discount') and a small outbuilding or shed (la tondeuse est dans la remise). It also appears in legal and administrative language as remise de peine ('sentence reduction') or remise en liberté ('release'). Context always disambiguates the sense.

Examples

"Le magasin offre une remise de vingt pour cent."

Natural Translation
