Hobby vs loisir

Colin W.C1Kwiziq community member

Couldn't loisir be used for hobby or is hobby more common (another English word adopted by the French!)?

Hi Colin,

Not really because loisir/s is more spare/leisure time than activities.

But we accept 'passe-temps' as an alternative.

Bonne Continuation !
