Maïté Mendiondo-George Nov 12, 2017: je contraignis .... à me dire ainsi que David le suggérait ..
david henrion Nov 12, 2017: The context atmospher can also be supported by the second verb choice "je fis en sorte qu'Albert me dévoile ..."
david henrion Nov 12, 2017: so maybe "je contraignis ..."
claire (asker) Nov 12, 2017: yes Albert was threatened to be killed by this person
Tony M Nov 12, 2017: @ Asker I think to some extent it also depends on just what degree of compulsion was used to make Albert tell... from outright mediæval torture via emotional blackmail to simple coaxing... I suspect that will influence the verb needed in FR.
claire (asker) Nov 12, 2017: oui c'est malpoli de ma part. sorry
david henrion Nov 12, 2017: bonjour aussi :)
