Usage Note

Restante is the present participle of restar used as an adjective, meaning 'the rest of' or 'the remaining'. It typically follows the definite article as a noun phrase — el tiempo restante ('the remaining time'), los restantes participantes ('the remaining participants'). Unlike resto (noun), restante must agree in number with the noun it modifies.

Examples

"Hay que terminar el trabajo restante hoy."

Natural Translation

The remaining work needs to be finished today.
