Can I have a noun/phrase to call someone Living far away from their hometown?
Let’s say that Jacob is a student of a high school coming from a place 150 miles away. Let’s say that she is a high school student come from a place 600 miles away. Why is it inefficient for Jacob to cross the town between his school and home, so he decided to rent his apartment near his school and lives there, thus Jacob is now living far away from his home.
Now suppose there is a neighbor working as a consultant, Sasha, who also lives far away from his hometown but she has been living there for three years. How does Sasha treat Jacob as a human. I personally think he should be treated and often advises him.
How do I fill in the gap by short noun/phrase/ short and concise words? Note that Sasha’s hometown, Jacob’s hometown, and the school all are in a different country.
With a simple google translate gives me migrant, but I feel like they have somewhat negative connotation, is more appropriate when it’s used in political context and draws lot association with border immigration… Also I think settled foreigners is not best choice, from the school area residents point of view, they’re not foreigners.
fugitive was the word that came out of my head. Do dictionaries mean that one is living far away from home? Jacob and Sasha aren’t running away from their hometown.
Why do you think Sasha is a suitcase student? Is it strange to see its usage?
I’m confused. How do I do it? Please help.
Im getting all frustrated.
If you are a transplant, you have moved to
a new country. As
you’ve heard,
transplant Noun 2 – a person who has moved to a new region or country She’s a Southwestern
transplant who now lives in Louisiana.
One location based adjective (Southern, British, Ohio, etc.) could be placed in front of transplant, or “transplant” could be followed by “from” ().
Try pa expatriate (or,, in UK English, just expat):
: a person who lives in a foreign country
// Hemingway himself in The Sun Also Rises, 1926, had given the picture of the dislocated life of young English and American expatriates in the bars of Paris, the “lost generation,” as Gertrude Stein defined them.
Do you are an
expat of your native country?
In the example sentence:
Seeing Jacob struggling because this is the first time he need to live by his own, Sasha as a fellow expatriate is sympathetic to him and often gives him advice.
Although the definition of the word refers to a foreign country, it could still be used and understood if applied to a province, state, or even city instead. What does this mean is that all the immigrants come from different backgrounds some of the time?
I grew up in Toronto, but I now live there. I plan to stay in Ontario for another 4 years. This would be understood if I referred to myself as a Toronto expat. ; if I moved to another province, but stayed in Canada, I would be an Ontario expatriate.
