Etwas gilt nur für einen bestimmten Abschnitt oder nicht komplett, sondern nur zu einem gewissen Grad.
The German word "teilweise" is an adverb meaning "partially" or "in part". It is made from:
- Teil meaning "part" or "portion"
- -weise, a suffix indicating manner or mode (like "in a ... way").
Similar words:
- teilhaftig (partly involved)
- zum Teil (to some extent)
- halb (half)
Difference:
"teilweise" refers specifically to something happening or being true only in some parts or to some extent, often more flexible than "halb" (which strictly means half) and less formal than "teilhaftig". "Zum Teil" is very similar and frequently interchangeable with "teilweise".
