Learn French: Il a parié trois jetons pendant la dernière manche. - He bet three tokens during the last round.

In French, pendant is the standard translation for 'during' when talking about an event or a duration of time (like a game round). Pour is mostly used for planned future durations (like saying 'I am going for three days').

Why does dernière come before the noun manche?

The adjective dernier / dernière changes meaning slightly based on its position. When it means 'the final one in a series' (like the last round of a game), it goes before the noun. If it means 'the most recent one' (like last week = la semaine dernière), it usually goes after the noun.

Does une manche always mean a 'round' in a game?

No, une manche (feminine) can mean a 'round' in a game, but its most common everyday meaning is a 'sleeve' of a piece of clothing. Be careful with the gender: le manche (masculine) means a 'handle' (like on a broom), and La Manche with a capital letter is the English Channel!

What exactly are jetons?

Un jeton refers to a token or a chip, like the poker chips used in a casino, a token used for a shopping cart, or coins used in an arcade. It is used instead of real money when making a bet (parier).
