- 1居住於；棲息於（人用居住，動物常用棲息）
If people or animals inhabit a place, they live there. It is a little more formal and a little more “geography book” than live in. We often use it for animals in a habitat, and for people in a region, an island, or a city in history or science writing. You inhabit a forest; in casual speech you would not usually say you inhabit your flat — you live in it. Writers sometimes stretch it and say a character inhabits a role, meaning they live inside that part, but that is a looser, literary use. The noun for the person is ; the place that suits a living thing is a habitat.
