Dear teachers,
Hello, would you teach me a meaning of "established 24-store"?
I can't understand the meaning both of established and 24-store.
Please help me, please.
With regards. |

If you will post a sentence or paragraph with the phrase in it, we might be able to figure it out. As it stands, I can't understand it at all. Thanks.

Sounds like a "24 hour" store...a store open for business 24 hours a day
If that dosen't seem to be the answer you need...post the context, as suggested by CP |

Dear CP and Philo Kevetch,
Thank you for your reply, and it is so sorry that was a hard-to-understand questioning.
I would like to know the below sentence's meaning.
"ABC Group, an established 24-store perfume and beauty retail chain in L.A, USA."
As Mr/Ms. Philo Kevetch said, I can't see 24-store means whether "24 hour" or "24 stores(they have 24 stores in LA)".
Would you mind giving me an advice once again?
Thank you.
Sincerely |

Dear Philo Kevetch,
Thank you for your advices.
It is great help for me.
I'm happy to see what "24-store" sugests.
And I would realize that it needs full context when we see the exact meaning.
Thank you so much.
Sincerely |

You are welcome.
Sorry to have "jumped in" with my guess. CP was doing well enough without me.
Your "handle"...student teacher... are you studying to be an English teacher? |

Dear Philo Kevetch,
Do I want to be an English teacher?
I wonder if my English is too bad if I should want to be an English teacher.
I wish I could be so....
It may difficult for me to be an English (or other) teacher, but I want to understand English to be able to communicate with native English speakers.
Above all, I want to conquer English-phobia!
Can you understand what I want to suggest above?
Thanks a lots.
With Regards. |
