WHAT DOES TENPINS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

tenpins

Ten-pin bowling

Ten-pin bowling is a sport in which a player, or "bowler" rolls a bowling ball down a wooden or synthetic lane with the objective of scoring points by knocking down as many pins as possible. In Canada, the United States, United Kingdom and Australia, the game is commonly referred to as just "Bowling". In New England, "bowling" is usually referred to as "regular bowling", "ten-pin bowling" or "big-ball bowling", because of the "small-ball" used in five-pin bowling, candlepin and sometimes duckpin varieties, which each use much smaller and lighter bowling balls as compared to ten-pin bowling, without the need for finger holes in them.
