تفاوت با واژه‌های مشابه

city— شهر. Common. Interchangeable with 'town' when referring to a large, densely populated urban area, but 'city' implies a larger scale and often a more significant administrative or economic center. 'Town' is typically smaller than a city. For example, 'New York is a large city' works, but you wouldn't say 'New York is a large town'. For example: She lives in a big city. (او در یک شهر بزرگ زندگی می‌کند.) If you say 'town', it implies a smaller settlement. (اگر بگویید 'town'، به یک شهرک کوچک‌تر اشاره دارد.)

village— روستا. Common. Not interchangeable with 'town' as 'village' is significantly smaller and less developed, typically without a full local government. 'Town' is a step up in size and infrastructure from a village. For example, 'He grew up in a small village' works. You wouldn't say 'He grew up in a small town' if it was truly a village. For example: The quiet village had only one shop. (روستای آرام فقط یک مغازه داشت.) 'Town' would imply more amenities and a larger population. ( 'Town' به امکانات بیشتر و جمعیت بزرگ‌تر اشاره دارد.)
