parte

PAR-tehˈpaɾte

nounB2specific
Use 'parte' when referring to a specific report or update, most commonly for weather forecasts or military/medical status updates.
A hand holding a single sheet of paper with a simple weather map showing a sun and a cloud.

Examples

Always Masculine: 'el parte'

This is a completely different word from 'la parte'. When you mean 'report', it's always masculine. The key is the little word 'el' in front!

Mixing up 'el parte' and 'la parte'

Mistake: “El doctor me dio la parte de mis análisis.”

Correction: El doctor me dio el parte de mis análisis. A medical update is an official 'report', so it must be 'el parte'.

Boletín vs. Parte

The most common mistake is using 'boletín' when 'parte' is more appropriate for specific reports like weather. While 'boletín' is a broad term for news, 'parte' is specifically for a 'report' or 'update' in a more formal or specialized context.
