Usage Note
Par means a matched pair (un par de zapatos = 'a pair of shoes') and, as an adjective or noun, 'even' in number (número par). In golf it is borrowed directly as 'par'. The phrase sin par means 'unparalleled' or 'matchless'. Don't confuse with pared (wall) — the final r is always pronounced.
Examples
"Necesito un par de minutos."
Natural Translation
