Questions and answers

When should I use جزء versus قسم?

Use جزء for parts of a whole (e.g., 'a section of the road'). Use قسم for subdivisions like departments, sections in a newspaper, or designated areas (e.g., 'the men's section').

Does 'section' always mean a physical part?

Not necessarily. It can refer to a section of a speech, a legal section, or a section of society, where جزء or قسم would still apply depending on the context.
