Como dizer "a maior parte do" em inglês
Oi Pessoal,
Como escrevo: Apesar de ter algumas partes em Ingles, a maior parte do meu projeto está em portugues.
Estou em dúvida com "a maior parte do", seria most of my project?
Obrigada
Naiara.

Português: a maior parte/porção/fatia, a grande parte.
Inglês: the lion's share.
Exemplo 1: We can see that institutions own the lion's share in the company with 51% ownership. Put another way, the group faces the maximum upside potential (or downside risk). Ref. uk.finance.yahoo
Exemplo 2: (...) the lion's share of the work did go to Tom who was left to rummage through a book shelf covered with snakes while Martin answered questions. dailymail.co
OBS.: A expressão "the lion's share" não só indica a parte maior de algo como também a mais significativa, valiosa. Se acrescentarmos o verbo, por exemplo, "to represent" a ela, passará a ideia de algo ser o ponto/foco principal.
Exemplo 3: Energy represents the lion’s share of greenhouse gas emissions which, by 2050, need to be cut by 80-95% compared to 1990 levels. Ref. parliament
Exemplo 4: Cars made for export - representing the lion's share of those produced - rose by 5.3%, while there was a much sharper upturn for the domestic market. Ref. news.sky
