natural home of an animal or plant
The place in nature where an animal or plant usually lives.
Schemat użycia:
the habitat of [an animal/plant]
Częsty błąd:
Learners sometimes use *habitat* for a specific house or building where people live, but it is usually used for the natural living place of animals and plants. For people, *home*, *house*, or *neighborhood* is more natural. Learners also confuse *habitat* with *inhabitant*: *habitat* is the place; *inhabitant* is the living thing.
Synonimy

|
ecosystem (Emphasizes the whole system of living things and their environment, not just the place itself.)
|
home (Informal and person-focused; used metaphorically for animals' living place.)
Antonimy

Schemat użycia:

Częsty błąd:

Synonimy
comfort zone (Focuses on feeling safe and relaxed, less on the physical or social environment itself.)
|
milieu (More formal; often refers to social or cultural surroundings.)
Antonimy
out of place (Describes feeling uncomfortable or not fitting in, the opposite of being in one's habitat.)
|
alien environment (A very strange or unfamiliar setting, opposite of a usual or natural one.)
