«machine» in the English dictionary: everyday and in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

2. A machine is a device that sells or gives things: a vending machine, a ticket machine. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/M/machine/#m2)
3. In science, a simple machine (lever, pulley, wheel and axle, ramp, wedge, screw) makes work easier. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/M/machine/#m3)

### In the lessons

In maths it is usually something that makes items at a rate: items per hour × hours; machines working together add their rates; a vending machine has a price per item. In science, simple machines help lift and move things. In safety: never put your hand inside a machine that is on, and keep loose hair and sleeves away.

### Note

Countable. Spelling: «machine», said «ma-sheen». Related words: «machinery» (machines in general, uncountable), «machinist». Maths: two machines for 6 hours make twice as many as one; machines together add rates, not times. Trap: more machines mean less time, not more.
