English term

test match

English to Czech Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation
mostly in connection with rugby.

I've only found two instances on Google, they use the English term. Is there a Czech equivalent?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Prokop Vantuch Oct 20, 2010:
Context The important thing is the context. In many sports (soccer, basketball) a test match is definitely a "preparatory/friendly match" (přípravný zápas / přípravné utkání), as the colleagues below suggest. But the meaning in rugby is quite different. You also need to distinguish between a Rugby Union test match - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_match_(rugby_union) and a Rugby League test match - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_match_(rugby_league). The term "test match" here rather means an international match, i.e. "mezistátní zápas/utkání".

Explanation in Wiki (en)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_match_(rugby_union)

Caution! "Test match" in English has a very different meaning from, say, "Testspiel" in German. Be it rugby or cricket, it refers to a "proper", "recognized" international match - e.g. as part of a series or competition - and NOT a "friendly match".
