Summary/Abstract: The article aims to present the results of a contrastive study referring to expressions of effort in Romanian and French. The study is primarily based on the defining the conceptual zone suggested for analysis. Taking into account the common semantic features of this zone and the identification of the classes of verbs circumscribing it, we will establish the verbal units characterizing the lexical systems of the two languages. The results of the research study will be revalues in translation and French language teaching methodology.
