The parts are the fragments of a whole.
Part is a term with more than twenty meanings in the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) . This concept, whose etymological origin is found in Latin ( partis ), is usually used to name a fragment or fraction of something that constitutes a whole.
This means that a whole can be made up of various parts. For example: “This gift is just a part of all the surprises I prepared for your birthday,” “I think this doll is broken and some parts are missing,” “I'm healthy, I'm in love… the only part of my life that I "What worries us is labor."
symbolic or physical part
The part in question can be symbolic or physical. A person may indicate that the part they like most about another person is their personality or that their favorite part of a movie is when the protagonist saves himself from an accident.
The part can also be concrete: a leg is a part of a table, just as a keyboard can be considered a part of a computer equipment.
Gadgets, appliances, and automobiles, for example, are often sold in parts, either when the original product has been damaged beyond repair, or when sellers want to make a higher profit by adding a higher percentage to each part. This is very useful for those with the necessary knowledge to carry out the relevant repair, since hiring a third party can cost much more money.
Nowadays, thanks to the ease that free- sale portals provide us (such as eBay, Segundamano and Mil Announcements ), the fact that our computer stops working or that our mobile phone's screen is destroyed in a fall are no longer misfortunes. irreparable: there are many people willing to buy the parts that have been saved, so it is enough to take the trouble to photograph them and put them up for sale to recover a percentage of the money that we will have to invest in a new device.
Multiple parts can be recognized in a car.
