peer agreement (net): +1mansion Explanation: szerintem ez a leginkább megfelelő, és a kúria a manor -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 perc (2006-10-28 15:45:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- l. wikipedia: A mansion is a large and stately dwelling house for the wealthy. The word itself derives (through Old French) from the Latin word mansus the perfect passive participle of manere "to remain" or "to stay". In the Roman Empire, a mansio was an official stopping place on a Roman road, or via, where cities sprang up, and where the villas of provincial officials came to be placed. The English word "manse" originally defined a property large enough for the parish priest to maintain himself, but a mansion is no longer self-sustaining in this way (compare a Roman or medieval villa). 'Manor' comes from the same root— territorial holdings granted to a lord who would remain there— hence it is easy to see how the word 'Mansion' came to have its meaning. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 perc (2006-10-28 15:47:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- NB érdemes megnézni a cikket, mert kép is van hozzá http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansion -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 óra (2006-10-28 17:29:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Kati, magyarul valóban a kastély vidéki. Budapesten sokszor hallottam az Andrássy-úti palotasorról beszéli. Amerikában (a British használat nem feltétlenül ugyanaz), városi környezetben is használatos a mansion. A palace szót is használják, a palace még nagyobb és elegánsabb, mint a mansion (ezekbál ma tizenkettő egy tucat). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 óra (2006-10-28 17:35:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Még annyit, hogy magyarul is van ilyen különbségtétel, sokszor a palota elegánsabb és nagyobb, mint a kastély. Ezért nem rossz a hercegi, grófi paloták esetén a palace, mint itt is: http://www.schloss-esterhazy.at/lm_historie M532f4644cef.htm... forditás. |

chateau Explanation: A leírásod alapján a vidéki kastélyra ez a jó. Hogy borvidék vagy nem, az lényegtelen, nem kötődik ahhoz. |
