Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): GILLES MEUNIER

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion

Daryo Nov 26, 2014:
yes, it's a distinct possibility, although the "individual amenity" might also be the simple fact that an "Individual bathroom" is part of the deal. Or individual as in one set of "amenities" per person? A bit ambiguous, in fact...
Tony M Nov 26, 2014:
Previous KudoZ If you can find it back, we had some quite extensive discussion about this in a previous KudoZ, where in context it certainly seemed to be referring to free supplies of shower gel, etc.

merci beaucoup !
neutral Jennifer Levey : That's from the perspective of an company selling these products to hotels in bulk quantities; it may include a vast range of items that are not for 'individual bathroom use'.

articles de toilette

It refers to what we usually call 'toiletries' in British English:

British English: ... Toiletries are products such as soap and toothpaste that you use when cleaning or taking care of your body.
http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/toiletri...

Commonly translated as "articles de toilette", e.g.:

agree Jocelyne Cuenin : Marion a retrouvé le lien dont parle Tony, et dans la discussion Germaine évoque aussi la brosse à dents, le peignoir, etc. Donc, article me semble englober un peu plus que produit. (Le séchoir - qui n'est pas individuel - est cité à part.

agree John ANTHONY : Agree, but slightly disagree with Petitavoine : "toiletries" does not include items such as bathrobes, slippers, etc. These are always listed separately
