«Semi-annually» describes an event that recurs every 6 months. Is there a similar term for an event that recurs every 3 months? (I’m guessing that «semi-semi-annually» isn’t the correct answer.)
More importantly, is there a resource or table somewhere that I can use in the future to construct prefixes for other intervals shorter than a year?

This is not exactly a prefix but the word does indeed refer to an event that occurs four times a year. And the word is «Quarterly».

Not really, because commonly used ones are often exceptions to rules. However, you now have a good set:
- Annually (and the multiplicators)
- Bianually
- Quarterly
- Monthly (there should be a word for every two months)
- Fortnightly
- Weekly
…
Now you only have problems if you need to define every 6 weeks or suchlike.

If
quarterly
doesn’t suffice,
tri-monthly
is probably closest in spirit to «semi-annually» (although I would prefer «biannual» to this anyway)
You should be able to construct such a table reasonably easily.
weekly every week
bi-weekly every two weeks
tri-weekly every three weeks
monthly every month
bi-monthly every two months
tri-monthly every three months
biannual every six months
etc.

Hi
How would you say
Every few years
Tous les quelques annees? is almost certainly wrong
Thanks
-
#2
I’d say something like «tous les 2 ou 3 ans», «tous les 4 ou 5 ans»… depending on the frequency implied
-
#3
Thanks
It sounds slightly clumsy, but the right meaning. Maybe I’m wrong. Is there a simple way of saying every few years? Anyone either backing pieanne up or with a different suggestion would be much appreciated.
-
#4
Not wishing to sound grumpy but any ideas anyone?
-
#5
No, I’m sorry, I don’t think we have the corresponding expression… There is «de temps en temps», but it doesn’t convey the «year gaps».
The expressions I proposed are not clumy, they are quite used. «On mange ensemble tous les 2 ou 3 mois», «il va aux Etats Unis tous les 2 ou 3 ans».
But the larger the gap, the awkwarder the expression. You won’t say «tous les 8 ou 9 ans», you’d say «rarement»
-
#6
Hmmmm. Thanks for your help.
I’ll explain my problem. I’m describing events over a 70 year time period, which happened fairly regularly, but sometimes every other year, sometimes with a gap of almost a decade between them.
I want to say they happened every few years to get round this and still be succinct.
-
#7
i’m on pieanne’s side here, i’ve never come across a direct translation of ‘every few years’..
‘tous les 2 ou 3 ans’ is right…
-
#8
«A des intervalles irréguliers, allant de 2 à 10 ans»
But then, «every few years» doesn’t translate such different intervals either
-
#9
The problem is that it is idiomatic to have ‘few’ in English in time phrases, whereas it is pointless to have a word expressing quantity in French:
— in the last few years / ces dernières années.
When the word ‘few’ actually does mean something, French needs to be more specific, and I would agree with most of what Pieanne wrote (though not with the
You won’t say «tous les 8 ou 9 ans», you’d say «rarement»
part, which is very subjective).
-
#10
Instead of «tous les 8 ou 9 ans», I’d also say «une fois tous les 8/9 ans»
-
#12
If one can say de temps en temps and d’année en année … would des années en années be so incomprehensible?
(Yes, I suppose «from years to years» would be fairly meaningless in English, but we can say ‘every few years.’)

Given this info, which was posted while I was typing my first answer, I would try «de temps à autre, à intervalle irrégulier».

No, sorry! «des années en années» isn’t French… Sorry, MG!

No, sorry! «des années en années» isn’t French… Sorry, MG!
![:)]( "Smile :)")
No need to be sorry. I hadn’t really thought so. Just seems a frustratingly simple notion to fall under the rubric of l’indicible!
De temps à autre does seem the best option so far.

So I’ve been using ‘tous les/chaque quelques annees’ all this time incorrectly… People always seemed to know what I meant tho… guess they were kind…

#17
Another thought … there must be a way of combining locs.advs. to get the idea across, like au cours des années/decennies [something happened] de temps à autre, right?
Au cours des decennies, l’équipe gagnait de temps à autre.
Something like that?

I come across the same problem today: «We invite every few years some Members of the European Parliament to exchange about…»
«Tous les deux ou trois ans» is too precise: it might well be two consecutive years and then nothing during three years, for instance, I don’t know.
The best solution I can think of is «Nous invitons régulièrement…». It will be clear from the context that this «régulièrement» is not every few weeks or months.
In spoken French, we also say «tous les x temps», but it is not suitable in a formal invitation. You do find «toutes les quelques années», «toutes les quelques semaines»… on Google (bad translations, perhaps?), I cannot say it really hurts me. Shall we all try to introduce these expressions in French, it would be very useful input !

Pourquoi utiliser « régulièrement » si les rencontres ont lieu à intervalle irrégulier ?
Quand on n’a pas besoin de préciser si le laps de temps se compte en jours ou en années, « de temps à autre » est peut-être plus indiqué.
-
#20
wouldn’t «au fil des années» work here?
-
#21
@ joelooc : Je ne crois pas, non. « Au fil des ans/années » se traduirait plutôt par «over the years«.
J’aurais dit moi aussi « tous les deux ou trois ans (en moyenne) ».
Comme je traduirais every few days par tous les deux ou trois jours.
Si les intervalles étaient irréguliers, il me semble qu’on le dirait autrement en anglais.
de temps à autre — plus proche — équivaut à every now and then / from time to time.
Alors, si Chimel préfère ne pas préciser deux ou trois, à mon avis — qui n’engage que moi — régulièrement
convient autant que de temps à autre / à l’occasion.
