legal status of living somewhere
The legal right or official state of living in a place, like a country, state, or city.
Padrão de uso:
[someone]'s residency in [a place]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "residency" with "residence" and use it to mean a physical house (e.g., *"I went back to my residency"* instead of *"I went back to my residence/house"*). Another common error is mixing it up with "resident" (a person who lives somewhere) or "residential" (an adjective describing an area where people live). Use "residency" mainly for legal or official status (permanent residency, tax residency, residency status).
Sinónimos
residence (Often refers to the physical place where someone lives; "residency" is more about the legal or official status of living in that place.)
Antónimos
non-residency (Describes the legal situation of not being officially considered a resident of a place, the opposite legal status to having residency.)

postgraduate medical training period
A time after medical school when a new doctor works and trains in a hospital to become a specialist.
Padrão de uso:
[someone] does a residency in [a medical specialty]
Erro comum:
Learners may think "residency" here means where the doctor lives, but in medicine it means a training period, not a home. Some also confuse it with "internship"; in many systems, an internship is earlier or shorter, while a residency is longer, more advanced training in a specialty.
Sinónimos
postgraduate training (A broader term for education after a degree; "residency" is a specific type of postgraduate training for doctors in a hospital setting.)
Antónimos
independent practice (Refers to working as a fully qualified doctor without supervised training, which contrasts with the training stage of a medical residency.)

fixed-term program for artists
A special program where an artist or writer can live and work in one place for a short time, usually with help like money or a studio.
Padrão de uso:
[someone] has a residency at [an institution or place]
Erro comum:
Learners may confuse this with simple "living" somewhere for art. A residency is not just any place an artist stays; it is a formal program with a set time, organizer, and usually some support or goals.
Sinónimos
fellowship (Often used for funded positions in arts or academia; a "residency" usually includes living and working in a specific place, while a fellowship may not require living on-site.)
Antónimos
freelance work (Refers to independent work without a fixed-term program or provided place, contrasting with the structured support of a residency.)

regular performances at one venue
A plan where a singer, band, or show plays many times at the same place for some weeks or months.
Padrão de uso:
[someone] has a residency at [a venue]
Erro comum:
Learners may think "residency" always means living somewhere, but in music and theater it often means a regular performance job at one place. The artist may live nearby, but the key idea is the fixed, repeated shows at the same venue.
Sinónimos
regular gig (Informal term for a job playing regularly at a place; "residency" sounds more official and often suggests a fixed contract or promotion.)
Antónimos
tour (A series of performances in many different places, which is the opposite of a residency that stays in one venue.)
