person who has recently arrived
A person who is new in a place, group, or activity.
Vzorec užití:
a newcomer to [a place/activity/group]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say *"new person"* or *"new one"* instead of *"newcomer". While those phrases can be understood, *"newcomer"* is the natural single-word noun for someone who is new to a place, group, or activity. Also, remember to say *"a newcomer to"* (not *"a newcomer in"*) when talking about an activity or field, e.g. *"a newcomer to programming"*.
