A church I'm working with has an event called a "hymn sing." (A leader takes requests and the group sings random hymns from a specified hymnal.)
I need to translate "hymn sing" to Spanish, but can't find a translation that suits me -- "himno cantar" was one suggestion, "reunión de cantar himnos" was another.
I'm hoping that this community can help. Thanks.
Hymn is easy and unambiguous. On the other hand, "sing" has many meanings.
I think the meaning you want is "the abstract act and effect of singing", therefore you should use the Spanish word "canto". Maybe "canto de himnos"
