よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes say *"go to zoo"* instead of *"go to the zoo"*. In English, we normally use *the* before *zoo* in this meaning ("We went to the zoo yesterday"). Some learners also confuse *zoo* with *farm* (a farm is for animals that people use for food or work, not for showing to visitors).
意味

よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes think this always means there are animals. In this informal meaning, *zoo* does NOT mean there are real animals; it only means the place is very noisy and crowded. Also, it is normally used for places ("The store was a zoo"), not people (we do not say *"He is a zoo"*).
意味
noisy, crowded, chaotic place
コロケーション
it's a zoo
|like a zoo
|this place is a zoo
|the office was a zoo
|the mall is a zoo
類義語
madhouse (Informal and stronger; can sound more negative or emotional than calling a place a "zoo".)
|
chaos (More general word for complete disorder; does not carry the playful or humorous tone that "zoo" sometimes has.)
対義語
oasis of calm (Describes a place that is very peaceful and quiet, the opposite of a noisy, crowded "zoo".)

類義語
