concurrence

competition

noun kon-kyoo-RAHNS Rare

Also means

rivalry

Usage Note

concurrence means competition or rivalry, especially in a business or commercial context. It is a classic faux ami: it does NOT mean 'concurrence' (agreement) as in English — for that, use accord or consentement. The phrase libre concurrence means 'free-market competition'.

Examples

"La concurrence entre les entreprises est forte."

Natural Translation

Competition between companies is fierce.
