| Phrase | estate |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "estate" means all of one's assets, or all the money, land, and buildings a person owns: "When my grandparents died, I inherited their estate, which let me pay for college." An "estate sale" is when the home of someone who recently died is opened to the public so that people can buy the furniture and other items that remain: "Shoppers can find a lot of good deals at an estate sale, but it's a little strange to buy things that belonged to a person who just died." When talking about property, an "estate" is a large area of land around one large house owned by a very wealthy person: "They spend their summer vacations on a country estate." Finally, "real estate" refers to buying and selling land and buildings: "Which real estate agent helped you buy your house?" |
