Usage Note
Parzialmente modifies adjectives, verbs, or past participles to indicate something is true only in part — parzialmente corretto (partially correct), il traffico è parzialmente bloccato. It is more formal than in parte, which is its everyday equivalent. Note that parziale (the base adjective) can also mean 'biased', so context matters.
Examples
