How do you say “trampoline” in different languages?

Here is how to talk about our favourite garden game in French, German, Italian and Spanish.

How do you say “trampoline” in German?

In German, a “trampoline" is translated as “Trampolin".
The word is very similar to the French word, but it is written without a final “e”. Like all German nouns, it also begins with a capital letter: das Trampolin.

Example:

Ich möchte ein Trampolin kaufen.
I would like to buy a trampoline.

If you are looking for a “trampoline" on a German website, the expression “Trampolin kaufen" therefore means “to buy a trampoline”.

How do you say “trampoline” in Italian?

In Italian, the expression “tappeto elastico” is commonly used to refer to a “trampoline”. You may also come across “trampolino elastico”, particularly in certain sporting contexts.

Example:

Vorrei comprare un tappeto elastico per il giardino.
I would like to buy a trampoline for the garden.

The expression “tappeto elastico” literally means “elastic carpet”, a rather vivid way of referring to a trampoline.

How do you say “trampoline” in Spanish?

In Spanish, a “trampoline” is generally called “cama elástica”. The term trampolín may also be encountered depending on the country and the context.
“Cama elástica” literally means “elastic bed”.

Example:

Quiero comprar una cama elástica para el jardín.
I want to buy a trampoline for the garden.

If you are looking for a garden trampoline on a Spanish website, “cama elástica para jardín” is therefore a particularly useful expression to know.
France Trampoline also has a website intended for the Spanish market.

How do you say “trampoline” in French?

In French, the word “trampoline” is simply used.
