capítulo

chapter

noun kah-PEE-too-loh Less Common

Also means

episode (of a series)

Usage Note

Capítulo is used for book chapters and TV or podcast episodes alike (el capítulo dos de la serie). In legal and formal language it also refers to a section of a law or regulation. The accent on the second syllable is essential; without it the word would be stressed differently. Episodio is an alternative for TV episodes but capítulo is the more common choice in Spain.

Examples

"Leí el primer capítulo del libro."

Natural Translation

I read the first chapter of the book.
