When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

dead animal carcasses

No real proof of this, but I believe this may be what it is referring to; the person who takes them away is a 'carnassier'.
Peer comment(s):

agree writeaway : yup. look up déchet carnets on the www /imo, the question needs to be entered as déchets carnés and not just carnés. carné as adjective is in all Fr-En dictionaries as 'meat' .........

French term (edited): déchets carnés

meat waste/trash, or household's animal protein waste/trash

"Carné" is a general term referring to "meat" from bovine, pig, poultry or sheep/mutton, other. "Dechet" refers to waste. Hence the wording suggests that "déchets carnés" be interpreted as household waste - in this context
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : This kind of déchet is specifically not household waste. I'm afraid this sort of word-by-word approach doesn't work here.
