Je me suis installé

Question

Can you explain when the verb s'installer can be used? Is it just an alternative for s'asseoir or does it have more meanings?

Accepted Answer

Hi Danielle, 
Both 's'asseoir' and 's'installer'  ( à sa table ) is given for 
I sit at my table 
but they are not really synonyms.
it is difficult to translate this particular meaning by an equivalent apart from 'sitting down' but it means to position yourself/ to settle down ( in a comfortable manner) really.
