A person who lives in a village, not in a city or large town.
Schéma d’usage :
a/the villager from [a village/place]
Erreur fréquente :
Learners sometimes say *"village people"* when they mean individual people living in a village. While grammatically possible, it often refers to the band "Village People" in modern English. Use *"villagers"* to talk about people who live in a village. Another mistake is using *"citizen"* instead of *"villager";* *"citizen"* usually refers to membership of a country or city, not simply living in a village.
