juste

fair

adjective adverb ZHOOST Common

correct

Usage Note

Juste swings between 'fair', as in un homme juste, and 'correct', as in la réponse juste, and as an adverb it means 'just' or 'only' — j'arrive juste (I'm just arriving). It can also flag a tight squeeze: c'est un peu juste means barely enough.

Examples

"Ta réponse est juste."
