# photo

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

## Everyday

1. A photo is a picture taken with a camera or a phone. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/P/photo/#m1)
2. Photo is short for photograph. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/P/photo/#m2)

### In the lessons

In school maths: pictures counted, taken, printed or put in albums; photos per page is a rate. In everyday life: school photos, holiday photos, selfies, a photo album. In safety: ask before taking or sharing someone's photo; do not share photos online with strangers. Phrases: «take a photo», «a photo of», «in the photo», «photo album».

### Note

Plural «photos» (not «photoes»). «Take a photo», not «make a photo». Maths: a thing counted. «Photos per page» gives a rate: pages = photos ÷ per page, rounded up. Trap: leftover photos still need one more page.
