| Phrase | value |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "value" means the amount of money that something is worth, or how much something could be sold for: "How do banks estimate the value of the homes they're providing loans for?" The phrase "face value" refers to the printed amount on a coin, stamp, or bill, especially if it is less than the object's actual value: "This coin is 200 years old, and although its face value is five cents, it's actual value is several hundred dollars." Sometimes the word "value" describes the benefit or satisfaction that one receives for it in relation to what was paid for it: "This brand is expensive, but it offers really good value." Finally, the word "value" can refer to one's belief about what is important or good: "Honesty, friendship, and simplicity are important values in Sheila's life." |
