Italian word
partita
batch, lot (of goods); a game/match; entry (in bookkeeping)
Looks like
party / partition
party = a social gathering or political group; partition = a dividing wall
⚠️ The trap
'Partita IVA' is the Italian VAT registration number — every freelancer and business needs one. 'Partita' in bookkeeping is a line entry. None of these mean party (social event) or partition.
To say "party = a social gathering or political group; partition = a dividing wall" in Italian:
partita (batch/entry/game); partita IVA (VAT number); festa (party event)
"partita" in English means:
batch, lot (of goods); a game/match; entry (in bookkeeping)
Example
"La partita di merce arriverà domani in deposito."
"The batch of goods will arrive at the warehouse tomorrow."
