English term or phrase: For the most part
Testo teatrale americano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Dialogo tra un ospite e un'assistente di una casa di riposo, che è anche figlia dell'uomo.

A: You do like the place, right?
B: For the most part.
A: What do you mean for the most part?

La mia proposta:

B: Per la maggior parte.
A: Che vuoi dire, per la maggior parte?

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie.

Explanation:
Un altro suggerimento.
Anziché dire che gli piace "per la maggior parte", si potrebbe sottolineare che non gli piace completamente.
A: Ti piace il posto, vero?
B: Non del tutto.
A: In che senso, non del tutto?
