Tirer Son Épingle Du Jeu Définition
- #1
Hey guys!
I came across this sentence in a french paper article, and was wondering 'what tirer son épingle du jeu' (pull one's pin from the game??) means?
The sentence is most French tourism:
"Seule la capitale semble tirer son épingle du jeu. Paris table sur une hausse des arrivées de touristes étrangers...
Its from Le Parisien, which i'thousand told is often quite 'playful' with linguistic communication anyway...
Thanks a lot for your help,
Dom

The explanation on this site would exist to get out while the going is proficient. It does non seem to jibe with the context.

I was wondering whether the expression "tirer son épingle du jeu" could be used somewhat interchangeably with "se tirer d'affaire" to mean "to make out OK / to get past."
Thus, would this case be appropriate?
"Bien qu'elle ne comprenne pas le français, elle tirait son épingle du jeu / se tirait d'affaire en French republic pendant les vacances."
I guess the former would sound too sophisticated in speech communication but not in writing? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hullo anybody !
I read the definition of this expression, "tirer fifty'épingle du jeu", but I've failed to notice an equivalent expression in English. Does anybody accept a inkling ?
Thanks

to finesse something (in AE pronounced fuh NESS). Originally a term from the game of span, information technology is used widely in the same way the French phrase is used.

Tirer son épingle du jeu proviendrait du XVe siècle. On dit que les fillettes jouaient à un jeu qui consistait à placer des épingles dans united nations cercle dessiné près d'un mur. Elles devaient ensuite les faire sortir avec une balle en réussissant à ce que celle-ci frappe le mur et vienne ensuite ricocher dans le cercle. Au minimum, il fallait récupérer ce que l'on avait mis en jeu. Ainsi, tirer son épingle du jeu signifie que 50'on réussit à sauver sa cause, ses intérêts propres. Récupérer ce que l'on a mis en jeu.
Pas en Anglais, desolée.

"To put in a creditable performance"?
"To give a expert account of oneself"?

Ok, then information technology looks like "to come out of the situation/it relatively unscathed" to me, but I suspect at that place is plenty of life left in this thread yet.
