Retired persons are not necessarily
retiring or withdrawn
although we are entitled to feel tired
and/or rejuvenated
by our superannuated state.
In France they are en retraite
or they have retreated.
In Italy they are pensionati
if they are lucky
and in Germany Rentner.
In Spain they are jubilados
and in Portugal simply
reformados.
