Se priver, nommément

Se priver, nommément

Why does the last sentence use the impersonal construction, "Pourquoi se priver" instead of "nous priver"?

Also, I translated "namely" as "en l'occurrence" but that wasn't one of the accepted answers (only "nommément" and "à savoir"). Is there a difference?

Hi Gee,

1. I have checked and both

pourquoi nous priver ?

pourquoi se priver ?

are accepted as correct answers.

2. 'en l'occurence' sounds good to me, will see if we can add it.

Bonne Continuation !
