adjective
partly
B1
teilweise (adj): means 'partial' or 'partly' (adjective use), e.g., 'teilweise Lösung' meaning a partial solution. Not gradable (no comparative/superlative). Antonyms: 'ganz', 'total', 'komplett'. Same form as the adverb 'teilweise', so context decides its role; not a participle. Used commonly in descriptions and specifications.
