Usage Note

Párking is a Spanish adaptation of the English word 'parking,' with a written accent to mark stress on the first syllable. It is a common term in Spain for a multi-storey or underground car park; in Latin America estacionamiento or parqueadero are more common. The RAE recommends native equivalents such as aparcamiento over the anglicism.

Examples
