Hobby vs loisir

ColinC1Kwiziq 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 !
