    It is very curious. In Buenos Aires (Argentina) we also say "la city" for the financial area. Excellent video as always, Tom!

    In Spanish .youhave Casa Rosada, the Argentinian goverment location, in Italian: il Quirinale/ where the Italian president lives, Palazzo Madama where there is a camera of PM .When you have some spare time please compare the GB political system to the French, Italian and the Spanish one.Great video, I like metonyms and acronyms. Lol.

    • @adamwlodarczyk8336

      Isn't it also Palazzo Chigi, where the Italian government resides? I have heard it a few times in Italian TV in this context

      @pinellafranich6007 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@adamwlodarczyk8336 In actual fact there are three buildings for govenment ministers: Palazzo Madama, Montecitorio, palazzo Chigi.As i said the Quirinale is the palace where the president lives and has international political meetings

    • @alicerossi_ap
      @alicerossi_ap 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You're right Adam Wlodarczyk 👌, it's Palazzo Chigi. Palazzo Madama is the seat of the Senate while Montecitorio is the seat of the Chamber of Deputies. Senate + Chamber of Deputies = Parliament not Government ☺

    Hi Tom, Thanks for your channel. Could you please comment on the pronunciation of 'Westminster'. You and (and the bloke on the tube) put the stress on the second syllable. I would have thought that one more often hear the stress on the first i.e. /ˈwes(t)mɪnstə/.

    @darthlaurel 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Actually, if you use Silicon Valley in the US, people assume you are talking about the general area in California where those industries are. We don't think "tech industry". We think "horribly expensive place to live/ridiculous traffic/you'll be sorry you accepted that job there".

    Surprised all your examples were Metanyms where the place represented the things associated with that place. There can be other types of metanyms as well.

  • @areebafatima2153

    Is it also called as synonyms??

    • @aniani198
      @aniani198 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Synonym is a word similar in meaning to another word or term for example: Answer and Respond/Reply.
      Metonym is a word or concept you use to describe something assiociated with that thing or concept for example: instead of saying The Defense Department and Defense Offices in the USA you say The Pentagon and everyone will/should know what you are talking about. Another example: "Hand"- you say Can you give me a Hand? instead of saying Please Help me/I need help. Hope that helped.
