pro rata
Describes that something is divided, calculated, or assigned according to a specific share or quota. It means that someone or something receives a part of the whole that corresponds to their participation or entitlement.
Die Kosten für die Reparatur des Daches werden anteilig auf alle Wohnungseigentümer umgelegt.
The costs for repairing the roof are allocated pro rata to all apartment owners.
The word is made up of 'der Anteil' (the share) and the ending '-ig'. So it describes something that relates to a share or is divided into shares.
Jeder Miteigentümer muss einen anteiligen Beitrag zu den Nebenkosten leisten.
Each co-owner must make a proportional contribution to the service charges.
'Anteilig' (pro rata) is very often used as an adverb to describe how an action is carried out. It usually comes directly before or after the verb.
Die Miete für den letzten Monat wird nur anteilig berechnet.
The rent for the final month will only be calculated pro rata.
This word is often used in financial or administrative contexts. Typical verbs are 'anteilig berechnen' (to calculate pro rata), 'anteilig zahlen' (to pay pro rata), 'anteilig tragen' (to bear proportionally), or 'anteilig umlegen' (to allocate pro rata).
Wenn du früher ausziehst, musst du die Miete für diesen Monat nur anteilig zahlen.
If you move out earlier, you only have to pay the rent for this month pro rata.
partly
Both words can describe a reimbursement of less than the full amount. „Teilweise“ only says that not everything is reimbursed. „Anteilig“ makes clear that the reimbursement is calculated according to a specific share or quota; use it when such a division applies.
Die Versicherung erstattet die Kosten anteilig nach dem vereinbarten Anteil.
The insurance company reimburses the costs on a pro rata basis according to the agreed share.
Die Versicherung erstattet die Kosten teilweise, aber nicht den gesamten Betrag.
The insurance company reimburses the costs partially, but not the full amount.
