role (theatre)

Usage Note

Parte is feminine despite ending in -e, which can trip up learners expecting an -a ending. Common idioms: da parte mia (on my part / for my part), in parte (partly), fare la propria parte (to do one's share). As a theatrical term, recitare una parte means 'to play a role'.
