nectarine Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I have to explain, in writing, the activities of our social group which plays bridge, quizzes, etc and the sentence I want to translate is:to play games and activities that help the memoryI'm translating it aspour jouer les jeux et activites qui aide la memoirebefore I commit to print, does this sound right please, or is it "pour FAIRE les jeux"? Or is there a tidier sentence that anyone can supply? Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 A couple of suggestions:pour participer à des jeux et activités qui aident la mémoire = to participate in games and activities that help the memorypour participer à des jeux et activités qui stimulent la mémoire = to participate in games and activities that stimulate the memorypour joindre des jeux et activités qui aident à stimuler la mémoire = to join in games and activities that help boost the memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celine Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Should it not be "participer AUX jeux et AUX activités "and"qui AIDENT' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 And if it's des jeux, shouldn't it also be des activités?Participer à des jeux et des activités ?We're just trying to get on your nerves Clair! [:D]Pour joindre des jeux doesn't sound right to me either. Sounds as if you're joining des jeux together. [8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 [quote user="Celine"]Should it not be "participer AUX jeux et AUX activités "and"qui AIDENT'[/quote]Yes, If the jeux and activités are defined rather than related to in a broad sense.The lack of context prevents a more specific translation.Edit: spelling now corrected [:)][quote user="Christine Animal"]And if it's des jeux, shouldn't it also be des activités?Participer à des jeux et des activités ?[8-)][/quote]Either would do (the fun and games, or the the fun and the games...?)

allanb Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 [quote user="nectarine"]...to play games and activities that help the memory ...[/quote]I don't know whether this will help, but you may be interested: there is an association in our village which does this regularly, and they refer to the weekly event as a remue-méninges - something to keep the brain cells stirred up.
