partita
match
In Italian, the word 'partita' is used to refer to a match or game in sports. It can also refer to a game in other contexts, such as a chess match or a match of cards. The word is used in the same way as in English, as a noun, and is usually accompanied by a definite or indefinite article (e.g., 'la partita' or 'una partita').
