employer support for moving
money and help that a company gives a worker so the worker can move to a new place for a job
Tipar de utilizare:
relocation [package/assistance/benefits] for [someone]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse "relocation" (the support or package) with "relocation costs" (the actual expenses). "Relocation" in this sense usually refers to what the company offers, not the total bill for moving.
Sinonime
moving allowance (A specific payment for moving costs; narrower than all types of relocation support.)
|
relocation benefits (Very close in meaning; often used interchangeably but can include non-financial help.)
Antonime
unpaid move (Describes a move where no company support is provided, the opposite situation of employer-funded relocation.)

forced movement of people
when a government or other power makes many people leave their homes and live in another place
Tipar de utilizare:

Greșeală frecventă:

Sinonime
displacement (General term for people forced to leave their homes, often by conflict or disaster.)
|
deportation (More specific legal term for forcing people to leave a country; often harsher in tone.)
Antonime
resettlement support in place (Policies that help people where they already live instead of moving them.)

putting a dislocated joint back
in medicine, moving a bone or joint that has come out of place back to the correct place

Sinonime
reduction (Technical medical term more commonly used for returning a dislocated joint or fracture to its normal position.)
Antonime
dislocation (Refers to the injury where a joint is forced out of position, the opposite of putting it back.)
