Voyage qui joint l'utile à l'agréable est tout à fait possible et parfaitement idiomatique à mon avis. À mon avis l'emprûnt intégral pourrait mener à la confusion à l'oral avec blazer, voire bled sûr. -Tu pars en voyage ? -Oui, j'y vais en blazer... -Quoi tu n'amèmes pas ton portmanteau ? ahaha | |

| Dec 17, 2022 at 23:15 | comment | added | jlliagre | @LPH You might have indeed but that would at least lead to something understandable by a native French unlike reusing "bleisure" which is essentially unknown. | |
| Dec 17, 2022 at 22:52 | comment | added | LPH | It is only a verbal expression whereas a noun or noun phrase is needed, it is general, as business is a mere possibility, it does not apply to travel in particular whereas the term "bleisure is used only for travel, and finally it is an explanation, but only a partial one (partial definition) of "bleisure". What is "Bleisure"? It is, as the French say, "joindre l'utile à l'agréable". If you have to use that in a translation you have to add quite a bit of text so as to miss nothing. | |
| Dec 17, 2022 at 22:24 | comment | added | jlliagre | @LPH I do not provide a definition of "bleisure", none being needed. When no single word exists to translate some word, a periphrasis or anything that convey the idea and the tone can be used. In my opinion joindre l'utile à l'agréable fit the expectations, especially as its definition reads "to mix business with pleasure". | |
| Dec 17, 2022 at 14:11 | comment | added | LPH | It seems to me that what is being asked is not a definition of "bleisure", but a translation; nice remark in a nicely concise French form, well known by the way. but not a translation; maybe I'll try to figure out a question to which it is an answer, seems a shame to waste it… | |
