Part (Swedish: part)

In Swedish, "part" generally refers to a party or a part in different contexts:

  1. Party/Side in Negotiation or Conflict:
    It means one of the parties or participants involved in an agreement, negotiation, lawsuit, or conflict.

    • Example: "Båda parter var överens." (Both parties agreed.)
  2. Component / Piece: It can also mean a portion, section, or piece of something larger. However, this meaning is more commonly expressed with the word "del" when referring to parts of things or objects.


Similar words and differences:

  • Part vs Del

    • Part is often used in legal, social, or negotiations contexts, meaning a party involved.
    • Del means simply "a piece," "portion," or "part" of an object, material, building, or abstract concept (like a story part).
  • Parti (similar sounding)

    • Parti means political party or group and is not usually interchangeable with part.

Summary

  • Part = a party or side taking part in a negotiation, conflict, agreement, or legal matter.
  • Del = a physical or abstract part or piece of something.

If you were referring to the English noun "part" but meant a Swedish synonym for the object-related sense, del is the usual go-to word.
