 * Could you check this translation of the quote?
 * When the mates met up in the café at the corner, to drink a beer, have a go at the pinball machine or the football table, he was only accepted because he cooked/ treated them.
 * I'm not really sure about the translation of taquiner and I strongly doubt that the last clause is right. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  11:49, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
 * "have a go at" sounds close; maybe "tickle" (as in )? The TLFi defines it such: "Utiliser, manier par jeu, par distraction ou en amateur. Taquiner un instrument de musique."
 * is used as a synonym of here, so "treated" is the right translation. "c'est moi qui régale" = "c'est moi qui invite" = "I'm paying; it's my treat". Canonicalization (talk) 12:04, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. So "ne ... que parce que" usually translates to "only because"? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk)  12:13, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes: "il n'était accepté que parce que..." = "il était accepté uniquement parce que..." = "la seule raison pour laquelle il était accepté, c'était que..." ("the sole reason he was tolerated was..."). Canonicalization (talk) 12:18, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I see is missing the sense we're talking about. Canonicalization (talk) 12:18, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
