move home or work to new place
To move to a new place to live or to work.
Tipar de utilizare:
to relocate [someone/something] to [a place]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes use the wrong preposition, saying *relocate in a city* instead of *relocate to a city*. The usual pattern is *relocate to [a place]*. Another mistake is using *relocate* for short or temporary moves (like a weekend trip); *relocate* is normally used for long-term or permanent moves for living or working.
Sinonime
move (More common and general; does not carry the same formal or long-term feeling that relocate often has.)
|
resettle (Often used for people who are moving permanently, especially refugees or groups moving for political or social reasons.)
Antonime
stay (Means not changing where you live or work, the opposite of relocating.)

To move something from one place to another place.
Tipar de utilizare:
to relocate [something] to [a place]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse *relocate* with *replace*. *Relocate* means to move something to a new place, while *replace* means to take something away and put a different thing there. Another confusion is to think *relocate* means *find again*; in modern English it almost always means to move the position, not to search for something.
Sinonime
move (Most common everyday word; less formal and more general than relocate.)
|
shift (Often suggests a smaller or shorter movement than relocate and is more informal.)
Antonime
leave (Means to keep something where it is and not move it, the opposite of relocating it.)
