- Relatedある程度あるていどNeutralAdverbial phrase meaning 'to some extent'. Focuses on degree — not completely, but somewhat — while 「部分的」 focuses on scope, i.e. involving only part of the whole.
- Related一部分はNeutralThe noun 「一部分」 plus the particle 「は」, used to raise a topic or make a contrast, as in 「一部分は正しい」. 「部分的」 is a na-adjective.
- Antonym全体的ぜんたいてきNeutralThe direct opposite: relating to or considering the whole, overall. Use it when the statement covers everything, not just a part.
- Antonym全面的ぜんめんてきNeutralAlso the opposite, but stressing every aspect or front, as in 「全面的に支援する」, whereas 「全体的」 looks at the whole as one.
Use 「部分的」 when something concerns only a part, not the whole. For the whole say 「全体的」; for every aspect say 「全面的」 (e.g. 「全面的に支援する」). To talk about degree rather than scope, use 「ある程度」.
