self-indulgence

Baris · 04-06-2005, 10:55 AM

Hi guys!

How would u translate SELF-INDULGENCE in French? and only in one word please...
In my dictionary, I found "amour de son propre confort" (which is too long) and "sybaritisme" (which is unheard of by many a French!

), so I'd like to have one easily understandable word for that.

Thanking u in anticipation.

may be laisser-aller or complaisance would work

« Il est indulgent (complaisant) envers lui-même » ou « Être indulgent avec soi-même ».

Je rajoute « auto-indulgence », qui sans doute convient mieux à ta demande.
