shop that sells books
A shop where you can buy books.
Tipar de utilizare:
to go to [a bookstore]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners often confuse "bookstore" with "library". A bookstore is a place where you buy books, while a library is a place where you borrow books, usually for free. Another point: in British English, "bookshop" is more common, but in North American English, "bookstore" is the usual word.
Sinonime
bookshop (More common in British English, but the meaning is the same.)
|
bookseller (Can refer to a person or a business that sells books, not always a physical shop.)
Antonime
library (A place where you borrow books instead of buying them.)
