vertical structure for smoke exit
A tall tube or structure on a house or factory that takes smoke from a fire and lets it go outside into the air.
Модель уживання:
a [adjective] chimney on [a building]
Поширена помилка:
Learners sometimes use “chimney” when they mean “fireplace.” The fireplace is the open area inside the room where the fire burns, while the chimney is the structure that takes the smoke up and out of the building.
Синоніми
smokestack (Often used for very tall chimneys on factories or ships, especially in American English.)
|
flue (Refers more to the internal passage for smoke, not the whole outside structure.)
Антоніми
vent (A general opening for air or gas that usually does not have a tall, separate structure like a chimney.)

glass tube around a flame
A glass tube around the flame of a lamp or candle that keeps the flame safe and lets the smoke go up.
Модель уживання:

Поширена помилка:
Learners may not know this meaning and think only of a house chimney. In this sense, “chimney” is a part of a lamp, not part of a building.
Синоніми
lamp glass (A more specific term for the glass part of a lamp; less technical and less commonly used as a standalone noun.)
Антоніми
open flame (Describes a flame without any protective tube or cover around it.)

wide vertical rock crack for climbing
In climbing, a tall, narrow space in rock that is big enough for a person to go inside and climb by pushing against the two sides.
Модель уживання:
to climb a [adjective] chimney
Поширена помилка:
Outside of climbing, most people think of chimneys only as parts of buildings. In climbing, a chimney is a natural rock feature that you climb inside, not a man‑made structure.
Синоніми
rock chimney (More specific climbing term that makes clear it is a rock feature, not part of a building.)
Антоніми
arete (In climbing, a sharp, exposed edge of rock, contrasting with the enclosed feel of a chimney.)
