pase

pass

noun PAH-seh Less Common

Also means

permit

Usage Note

Pase covers several senses: a sports pass (pase de gol = goal-assist pass), an entry permit (pase de prensa = press pass), and a bullfighting move. It is also the third-person singular present subjunctive of pasar, so context distinguishes the noun from the verb form. The phrase pase lo que pase ('whatever happens') uses the verb, not this noun.

Examples

"El guardia revisó el pase de entrada."

Natural Translation

The guard checked the entry pass.
