suburb vs. outskirts


The main difference between these two expressions is the difference between the
nouns  suburb and outskirts. As you can see in the Learner's Dictionary entries shown below,
a suburb is a town near a larger city, where people typically live in houses with yards rather than
apartment buildings. Suburbs are also associated with a lifestyle oriented around families with
children.

The word outskirts, which is always plural, refers to the edges of a community. There are outskirts
around a city, and these might be suburbs or they might not. There are also outskirts around the
edges of a small town.

3. on the outskirts на околицях, на відшибах

e.g. There are lots of factories on the outskirts.

e.g. They live on the outskirts of Paris.

4.in the suburbs у передмісті

e.g. Would you like to live in the suburbs?
