"Vous n'êtes pas à votre place ici."

Translation: You do not belong here.

[accomman]

Is this an idiom?

[nat10sk2]

it seems like it literally means "you are not at your place here", as in you are not in your "element" or you do not "fit in"

[J.Franchomme]

Exactly.

[Wol200]

I wrote You are not here at your place , and it was wrong.

[uchual]

Because the order in the sentence does not mean the same.

[--Roody--]

Yes it is an idiom, as the intended meaning doesn't precisely correspond to the literal meaning. Based on other discussions, it seems to closely match an English idiom ("You do not belong here.")

[Highlander16]

Anyway I didn't want to learn French.

[chriswalli8]

'You do not belong here' is a severe expression in English. A racist would say it to a person of colour, for example. 'You're not at home here' is something you might say to someone who had put their feet up on the seats on a train, or was over-relaxed in your own space. It's hard to tell from this translation how strong an expression this is. Help?

[Mihaela6]

And how do you say to a child who is not in his desk, in the classroom? Is the same phrase used?

[Sitesurf]

Maybe "ce n'est pas ta place ici".

[btreanor]

Why not "you do not have a place here"? Seems like that should work.

[pro-cacador]

I agree, It means the same thing

[christian4747]

Thanks Duo. :(

[OlderThanRome]

Would "You are not at home here" also be a possible translation?

[PhilipShor3]

I'm really struggling to hear the "à" in this sentence. Is this how a natural French speaker would elide over "pas à votre" ? Or would a z be added to make it clearer - "paz-à votre"

[igorcoel]

Duolingo has suddenly taken a hard right turn.

[mathewathomas]

Could i not say: "you are not at home here"?

[mammad99]

This is an idiom to idiom translation

[Dippy745670]

Brexity brutal

[LEGEND]

Sounds pretty mean to someone who wants to socialise around.

[Neeveen]

Does it mean you are out of place or crossed the line then?

[Michael_O_Brien]

so is there no actual french word for belong?

[Gor_Vardanyan13]

There is actually. Appartenir means to belong. It is used with the preposition à (to). Cette voiture appartient à Marie. This car belongs to Marie. But I don't know if you can use it in a situation, like this one: belonging to a place, society, culture...

[--Roody--]

According to the dictionary, appartenir is a transitive verb so it requires a direct object (a noun). Therefore it can't be used with ici as in this phrase.

[Summerstor5]

Often "your place" is a way of saying "chez".

I tried "You aren't at your home here."

DL: "Non"

Thinking in terms of what an American might be trying to say, I don't think of many things. "You aren't at home here" "You don't have a place here"

None are "You don't belong here"

[Cannib]

I wonder if this is an idiom or if the English expression 'you do not belong here' is the idiom? I was puzzled before I literally 'cheated' and saw this word meaning.

[--Roody--]

"You are out of place here."
