A person who works in a flower shop, making and selling flower arrangements and plants.
Vartosenos šablonas:
a florist [does/makes/sells/arranges something]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "florist" with "gardener" or "botanist". A florist works mainly with cut flowers and plants to sell in a shop, while a gardener cares for plants in gardens, and a botanist is a scientist who studies plants. Learners also sometimes say "She is a flower shop" instead of "She is a florist"; use "florist" for the person and "flower shop" or "florist" for the place.
Sinonimai

|
flower arranger (Emphasizes the creative design of bouquets rather than the business side.)
Antonimai
customer (In the context of a shop, a customer is the opposite role to a florist, who is the seller.)
