area just outside a city

A place where people live that is just outside a big town or city, but still close to it.

استعمال کا انداز: a suburb of [a city]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"I live in a suburb of city"* without *"the"* before the city name. The natural pattern is *"a suburb of London"*, *"a suburb of Tokyo"*. Another confusion is using *"village"* or *"town"* instead of *"suburb"; a suburb is usually part of a larger city, not a separate town.
