Phrase | value |
Text | The word "value," in this podcast, means how much money something is worth, or the price at which something can be bought: "We were shocked by the value of those old paintings." The phrase "of great value" means to be useful: "This research could be of great value in finding a cure for cancer." The phrase "of little value" means unhelpful or useless: "There's little value is arguing about what happened. We need to find a solution and move forward." If something "holds its value," its value does not change over time: "Historically, homes in this neighborhood have held their value better than homes in the surrounding neighborhoods." Finally, "face value" is the value that is printed on something, often different than its actual value: "The face value of this old coin is just one dollar, but it's actually worth several hundred dollars to collectors." |
