Alireine Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) We are doing a meeting for the fans in Saint-Denis (near Paris) on Saturday the 21th of December. From 12 to 2 PM, just before the recording of The Voice. It will be possible to drink or eat (but you pay what you order, sorry, we are not Mika in London ) From Paris, simply take the RER D to "Stade de France - Saint-Denis". Please, register yourself before Tuesday the 17th at rencontrefans@gmail.com We hope to see many of you! Please, note that it's not a Meet&Greet with Mika, even if we will talk to him about that, we think he will not come. But there will be other wonderful people: you and us Edited January 6, 2014 by Alireine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Does "inscribe" mean "register"? Because it has a different meaning in English. Anyway have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you explain me the difference please? We simply would like to know who will be coming, in order to know how many people will be there and inform the restaurant / pub. If it's not good I'll edit my post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not good I'll edit my post We would usually say "subscribe" to mean joining in with something (so "Subscribed threads"); we would use "inscribe" to mean something written or carved on a surface (the stone was inscribed with letters).

If it's not good I'll edit my post It's not bad or anything, I just noticed people using the word in the Voice thread and it took me awhile to figure out what was meant. It basically means to write on something permanently. It's a bit unusual to use the verb (in my experience) and you would mostly refer to an inscription (on a tombstone or in a book, etc). I see one site has "to enroll" as an archaic definition but I've never heard of it myself. I guess that's where it came from, but I don't think it's in common usage at the moment.

Thank you! But I think you can't say "subscribe yourself", so I changed for "register yourself". If I'm still wrong, please someone correct me And I hope you have a lot of fun at your meet-up Thank you! If you want to come, that would be great! There is The Voice recording on the same day, don't know if you are interested in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's simply because we are "translating" it from the French word we are using in that case: "s'inscrire" But I'll try to use the right verb from now on thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
