Province Abbreviations

Provincial is an adjective that allows referring to what is related to a province. The provinces, as far as they are concerned, are administrative divisions that exist in some countries, equivalent to the departments or states of other nations.

Examples: “The provincial government has announced that it will invest two million pesos in the construction of a new hospital”, “This athlete holds the provincial high jump record ”, “The Provincial Route Nro. 8 is in deplorable condition: walking through it is a real danger”.

Take the case of the Province of Buenos Aires, the largest in Argentina. The provincial capital is the city of Plata, where the provincial Executive Power operates.
