parata

parade

noun pah-RAH-tah Rare

Also means

save (in sport)

Usage Note

Parata has two distinct senses: a military or civic parade (la parata del 2 giugno — Italy's Republic Day march), and in sport or fencing a save or parry — a goalkeeper's save is una parata del portiere. Both senses are equally common; context makes the meaning clear.

Examples

"La parata militare ha sfilato per il centro della città."

Natural Translation

The military parade marched through the city centre.
