Meaning: playing card (noun)
Did you know?
- If you are playing certain traditional French games, the 'trey' of a specific suit might be nicknamed after a historical figure or a personage, rather than just being called its number.
- French has a specific term, le trois de trèfle, for the three of clubs, where trèfle refers to a clover rather than a club.
- While English speakers use 'trey' specifically for the card, a French speaker would simply say le trois when identifying that card in a deck.
