「I finished that game」の文法について
「I finished playing that game」というのは日本語でなんですか。どちらの方が正しいですか

そのゲームをしました。
そのゲームをやって終えました。

ありがとうございました。

While writing a message, I was thinking: how would you say, "I finished playing that game" in Japanese? It's a little confusing since "playing" in Japanese is 遊ぶ, which I think sounds awkward in this context. Thanks for the help.

Answer

There are some expressions. You can choose any of them :) by the way, the word 終える sounds like "oeru."
そのゲームをやり終えました。
そのゲームを終えました。
そのゲームを遊び終えました。
If you won that game (and you are finished with it), you could say;
そのゲームに勝ちました。
If you lost that, then you say;
そのゲームに負けました。

Hope this would help :)

Answer

@Karl "I finished playing that game" in terms of beating that game. :)

Answer

Do you mean "finished" in terms of beating the game? Or that you stopped playing?
