by LauraM, 2010-06-24, 10:42 Spam? 78.34.43.... Public viewing is not used in the UK to describe watching football together. This is a term that has been incorrectly adopted by the German language. As far as I know, we don't really have a term. We would just say "watching the match in the pub/on a big screen". Maybe "public screening". But definitely not "public viewing" | ||
Answer: | That's what I also thought, LauraM. | #526781 |

So the sentence in your second entry is what you want translated. Please see my reply to your second entry. 'More context would help'. That meant : please give another sentence or two preceding that sentence. I'd like to help, but I do need a bit more of the original text. | ||
Answer: | I don't think an adjective/gerund pair would work here. | #526785 |
You would have to change it to a not so snappy sentence - We want to create this team spirit in our corporate activities as well as our leisure activities. Not very inspired, but perhaps you can come up with something better. | ||
Answer: | Thanks everybody. | #526789 |
