Explanation

  • A classified ad or want ad is a short advertisement in a newspaper, magazine, or on the Internet, placed by someone looking for an employee, an employer, a tenant, a buyer for a house, etc.

    Be Careful! We usually do NOT use the expression "want ADVERTISEMENT" to mean want AD.

    注意:通常、この意味では、want ADVERTISEMENT の表現は使いません。
