Usage Note
Diapo is the colloquial shortening of diapositive, a photographic transparency or slide. In contemporary use it has extended to mean any presentation slide, including digital ones (une diapo PowerPoint). The full form diapositive is more formal and specifically refers to a physical film slide. Passer des diapos ('to show slides') evokes the classic projector evenings of the 1970s-80s in French family culture.
Examples
