Cách sử dụng
The expression "or so" is often used to suggest that the estimate of a number or amount is not exact, but close enough. It is usually used when we cannot give a precise number or amount, and want to indicate that it's around the given approximate number.For example, if someone asks you how long a movie is and you're unsure you can say, "It's two hours or so." This implies that the movie might be a little longer or shorter but it's around the two-hour mark.Another example could be in regards to distance, you may say "The nearest grocery store is a mile or so away." This means that the distance may be slightly more or less than a mile, but it's approximately that distance. Overall, the phrase "or so" is a convenient way to indicate that you're providing an approximate or rough estimate of a number or amount.
