Questions & Answers about Quitte à camper devant l'enseigne, je veux la meilleure réduction.
How does quitte à work in this sentence, and why is it followed by an infinitive?
Quitte à expresses an extreme condition or a risk you are willing to take, translating to 'even if it means' or 'at the risk of.' It is always followed by an infinitive (here, camper) because the person doing the action is the same as the subject of the main clause (je). You cannot use it with a conjugated verb.
What does l'enseigne mean here? Is it just a sign?
Why use devant l'enseigne instead of avant l'enseigne?
Why is it la meilleure réduction and not la mieux réduction?
