What does 'ghetto' mean?

Level: Primary/Intermediate

To start with, you can use Google as a dictionary. The trick is to type the word define: (with the colon) in front of the word you want to define, then click Search. E.g. if you wanted to define the word ghetto, your search would be define: ghetto. This searches for all the meanings on the web that define your word.

We like the definition from the Merriam-Webster dictionary, as it's easy to understand and from a reputable source.

Another great site for this type of question is Fact Monster. Just type the keyword ghetto into the search box at the top.

HOT TIP: Another place to look is Wikipedia which has great coverage of many topics, including the ghetto. But you need to be aware that this information is contributed by lots of different people. If you are using this site, it always pays to check the information against that on other sites or in books from the library.
