Bus/Financial - Management / meetings | | English term or phrase: social function | This is from a list of events that an enterprise could organize (with no explanations, just a drop-down menu), along with sales meetings, seminars, etc. One of the other elements in the list is "party" which I translated as "feestje"; now I need something else for this, which is, in my understanding, a more informal and smaller event than a "party". Does anyone have an idea?
Thank you for your help; alvast bedankt! |

| | (bedrijfs)borrel | Explanation:
Dit mag m.i. niet ontbreken in het rijtje van bedrijfsbijeenkomsten zoals feesten, seminars etc. Een 'borrel' heeft doorgaans in ieder geval een informeel en redelijk kleinschalig karakter.
Meegaand in jouw redenering zou ik 'party' overigens gewoon als 'feest' of 'bedrijfsfeest' vertalen, want 'feestje' gaat weer meer in de richting van een 'more informal and smaller event'. |

| Grading comment Iedereen bedankt voor de hulp. Na navraag bij de klant had ik het zelf verkeerd begrepen, en is de social function officiëler dan een feest (het is "formeel feest" geworden). Maar ik heb de borrel op een andere plek in de lijst kunnen gebruiken, evenals de receptie (bedankt Gerard).
