Excité Alternatives?

Question

Are there really no alternatives here for excité? I went for ravi - does this not work this context?

Aussi, comment on traduit le mot "to work" dans cette dernière phrase? Marcher marcherait-il?...

Merci en avance!

Accepted Answer

Hi Amelie, 
In these type of exercises, we try to stay as close to English as possible, so

excité/e = excited
ravi/e = delighted

I know people tend to avoid this adjective because of certain connotations but if you take a look at this page from Le Robert dictionary you will see that it is widely used -
Le Robert - définition excité/e
 As for marcher ( synonym to fonctionner)
est-ce que ça marche dans ce contexte ? 
is correct.

Answer

Hi Amelie,Excité  --> exalté ou frénétiqueRavi  --> heureux ou contentLet's see what an expert may comment, but as far as I understand the meaning "ravi" doesn't replace "excité".Bonne journéeJim
