What It Means
Imagine a decision so official it needs a signature from the President or a Minister. That is a décret. When something is done sur décret, it means the action is legally powered by one of these documents. It is not just a suggestion. It is a formal command that changes how things work. You will often see it when people get high-level jobs. It is also used when new rules are suddenly put into place. It carries the weight of the state behind it.
How To Use It
You usually place this phrase after a verb or a noun. It explains the 'why' or 'how' of a situation. For example, you might say someone was appointed sur décret. It acts like a stamp of authority on your sentence. You do not need many fancy words around it. Just state the action and add sur décret to show it is official. It is very common in news reports or legal documents. It makes you sound like you really understand how the French system works.
When To Use It
Use this when you are talking about serious stuff. It fits perfectly in a professional meeting about regulations. You can use it when discussing politics with friends. It is great for explaining why a certain public official is in power. If you are reading the French news, you will see it constantly. It is the bread and butter of administrative talk. Use it to clarify that a decision came from the very top.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this for your personal life choices. If you decide to go to the gym, do not say you are going sur décret. Your friends will think you have a bit of a power complex! It is also too heavy for small office decisions. Do not use it for choosing where to eat lunch. Unless you are joking, keep it for government or high-level legal contexts. It is too formal for a casual text about weekend plans.
Cultural Background
France is famous for its love of clear, written rules. The décret is a legacy of a very centralized government system. It allows the executive branch to act quickly without always waiting for Parliament. Historically, this goes back to how kings and later emperors like Napoleon ruled. Today, it is how the French Republic keeps the gears of the state turning. It represents the 'force of law' in a very direct way.
Common Variations
You will very often hear par décret instead of sur décret. They mean almost the exact same thing in daily conversation. You might also hear décret présidentiel or décret ministériel. These just specify who signed the paper. Sometimes people say sous décret if they are talking about being under a specific regulation. All of them point back to that same official power.
इस्तेमाल की जानकारी

Don't overdo the plural
While you can say `sur décrets` if there are many, the singular `sur décret` is the standard way to refer to the process.
