sensible
Usage Note
Raisonnable describes both fair prices (un prix raisonnable) and rational people or decisions. The adverb raisonnablement means 'reasonably'. It contrasts with rationnel (logically consistent) and sensé (sensible, well-founded); raisonnable carries a stronger sense of moderation.
Examples
"C'est une demande tout à fait raisonnable."
Natural Translation
