Usage Note

Question often appears in the phrase il est question de meaning 'it is a matter of' or 'there is talk of.' Hors de question means 'out of the question' and is a very common refusal formula. The expression remettre en question means to call something into question or challenge it, which is subtly different from the English 'put into question.'

Examples

"J'ai une question importante à poser."

Natural Translation

I have an important question to ask.
