person who has retired from work
A person who has stopped working at a job for the rest of their life, usually because they are older.
Vzorec užití:
a retiree from [a company/an organization]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use *retiree* to describe the action of stopping work, saying things like *"He will retiree next year"*. The correct verb is *retire* ("He will retire next year"), and *retiree* is only a noun meaning a person who has already retired. Another mistake is using *retired* instead of *retiree* as a noun (e.g. *"Many retired come here"*). You should say *"Many retirees come here"* or *"Many retired people come here"*.
