This is the 888th most frequent French word.
parce
"Parce" is not a standalone word in French; it is typically part of the phrase "parce que," meaning "because."
Used as part of the conjunction 'parce que,' which introduces a reason or cause.
Je suis resté à la maison parce qu'il pleuvait.
I stayed at home because it was raining.
Again, 'parce que' connects the cause (passing the exam) to the effect (feeling happy).
Elle est heureuse parce qu'elle a réussi son examen.
She is happy because she passed her exam.
Here, 'parce que' begins the sentence to emphasize the reason, maintaining its role as a causal connector.
