Hello!
I' d like to get more information about this expression, can an Englsih native explain what it means exactly?
I have a translation which is " d'une semaine à l'autre" but I'm not sure so I'd like to get the exact meaning of that expression to be sure of my translation.
If it is the wrong translation do not hesitate to tell me.
Thank you everyone!
Sofia

Merci, Tristan.

: Yes, though in your examples, it could just as well be replaced by 'weekly'; 'the change from one week to the next'

"month-on-month
adjective ACCOUNTING
Definition
› used to compare financial results, sales, etc. for one month with those in previous months:
The statistics office said month-on-month inflation slowed to 0.3% in May.
month on month adverb › Revenues have continued to grow month on month so far this year"
"
"We are almost looking at week-on-week increases at the moment – in the last week unleaded has gone up by 1.25p a litre".
The expression is also present in this oher sentence with a different context from the first one, here a woman talks about her weight loss and she says:
" have given myself a target to lose 7lbs a month. That way I will be in the 16s by my wedding in December. By looking at my monthly loss rather than week on week means I didn't stress when I put on 1lb 4 weeks ago due to TOTM".
Thank you!
