accommodation

Ngoại động từ[C/U] Cả hai

This word carries a strong sense of fitting into a space, whether that space is physical, social, or mental. When used in travel, it is often an uncountable mass noun in British English but countable in American English, referring to the general state of being housed. In a social or legal context, it suggests a willingness to bend or modify a position to ensure harmony. It is less about a total surrender and more about a strategic adjustment to make a situation workable for everyone involved.

Uncountable when referring to the general availability of housing (e.g., accommodation is scarce in this city). Countable when referring to specific types of housing units or individual compromise agreements (e.g., we searched for several different accommodations).
