On peut alors, par exemple, parler d'un "marché compétitif", mais il aura un sens légèrement différent du terme "marché concurrentiel". L'autre sens de "compétitif" "qui peut supporter la concurrence du marché", se rend aussi par "compétitive" en anglais (voir cette deuxième fiche). 4, record 3, French, - concurrentiel
