Phrase | native |
Text | The word "native," in this podcast, means born in a particular place: "Natives of Portland, Oregon, tend to be very proud of their city." When talking about plants, a "native" plant is a plant from a particular area: "They're trying to attract more local wildlife by planting only native trees and bushes in their yard." A "native tongue" or "native language" is the first language one learned and spoke as a child: "English is his native language, but he's also conversant in Portuguese, Mandarin, and French." Finally, "native" can refer to the cultural traditions of the people who were in a country before Europeans arrived in that country: "Do the people there still wear native clothes, or do they prefer Western jeans and t-shirts?" |
