Hello;
In this sentence:
He came across French people cut to your measure, Staszek, and found himself in their environment.
I can't get "cut to your measure".
Would you help me?
This is a conversation about Amin Maalouf (He) and Staszek is one side of this conversation.
Thanks.
I think "cut to your measure" here means "suits your needs", like when you have clothing made specifically by a tailor to fit your measurements perfectly. I'm not entirely sure, though. I'll rephrase the sentence in question to clarify what I mean: He came across French people who suits your needs ( who is the particular type of French people you need to find) , Staszek, and found himself in their environment.
