Phrase to object
Text In this podcast, the verb "to object" means to oppose something, or to believe and say that something is wrong or inappropriate: "Antonio objects to the way scientists use animals in their research." As a noun, an "object" is a physical thing that is not alive and can be seen and touched: "The art gallery is filled with interesting glass objects." An "object" is also an aim, goal, or purpose: "For Albert, the only object of studying is to get a good job." If someone says, "money is no object," it means that he or she is willing to spend a lot of money to get what he or she wants, and the cost isn't important: "Money is no object for Elisa. She always buys the best things available."
