語法 ①競技・ゲームには冠詞は付けない ②スポーツでも空手やボクシングなどの格闘技のようにボールを使わないものは,practice martial arts(格闘技をする)のようにpracticeあるいは,do, engage inなどを使って表現する.また,水泳やスキーなどはそのまま動詞でswimやskiあるいはgo swimmingやgo skiingと表現するのが普通 |

語法 日本語でよく使う「遊びに来てね」は,子ども同士ならCome and play with me.でよいが,大人同士ならCome and see me sometime.といい,playは使わない.「じゃれあう」というイメージがあるため,大人が「遊ぼう」の意でplayを使えばお互いふざけてじゃれあって遊ぶイメージが生まれ,特に異性間では性的な意味が生じてくる可能性があるので注意したい |

play
語源
From Middle English pleyen, playen, pleȝen, plæien, also Middle English plaȝen, plawen (compare English plaw), from 古期英語 pleġan, pleoġan, plæġan, and 古期英語 plegian, pleagian, plagian (“to play, exercise, etc.”), from Proto-West Germanic *plehan (“to care about, be concerned with”) and Proto-West Germanic *plegōn (“to engage, move”); both perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *blek- (“to move, move about”), from Proto-Indo-European *bal- (compare Ancient Greek βλύω (blúō), βλύζω (blúzō, “I gush out, spring”), Sanskrit बल्बलीति (balbalīti, “it whirls, twirls”)).
Cognate with Scots play (“to act または move briskly, cause to move, stir”), Saterland Frisian pleegje (“to look after, care for, maintain”), West Frisian pleegje, pliigje (“to commit, perform, bedrive”), Middle Dutch pleyen ("to dance, leap for joy, rejoice, be glad"; compare Modern Dutch pleien (“to play a particular children's game”)), Dutch plegen (“to commit, bedrive, practice”), German pflegen (“to care for, be concerned with, attend to, tend”). Related also to 古期英語 plēon (“to risk, endanger”). More at plight, pledge.
The noun is from Middle English pleye, from 古期英語 plæġ, plega, plæġa (“play, quick motion, movement, exercise; (athletic) sport, game; festivity, drama; battle; gear for games, an implement for a game; clapping with the hands, applause”), deverbative of plegian (“to play”); see above.
