Phrase | quote |
Text | The word "quote," in this podcast, means an estimate or prediction of how much something will cost: "The mechanic gave her a quote of $400 to fix her car, but after he did the work, he said it actually cost $950." The word "quote" is also short for "quotation," which is used to refer to words that were said or written by someone else: "The most famous quote by President Kennedy was, 'Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.'" As a verb, "to quote (something or someone)" means to say or write something exactly the way someone else has said or written it: "My uncle often quotes Thomas Jefferson, saying, 'He who knows best knows how little he knows.'" |
