ENGLISH IDIOMS: get hold of

in #persian6 years ago (edited)

get hold of

به دست آوردن

(To obtain; to grasp; to get in touch with.)

Fortunately, the security officers were able to get hold of that thief, and they found everything he’d taken.

خوش‌بختانه، مأموران حراست توانستند آن دزد را بگیرند و تمام چیزهایی را نیز که برداشته بود پیدا کردند.

مثال دیگر:

He didn’t want his employer to get hold of his medical record without his authorization.

او نمی‌خواست که کارفرمایش بدون اجازه‌ی او به پرونده‌ی پزشکی‌اش دسترسی پیدا کند.

Sorry for your loss and congratulation!

You have been victim of a @GrumpyCat flag because you or someone else sent money to buy votes from an irresponsible non-GrupyCompliant service.

@boomerang are acting irresponsibly by selling votes to people on their post in the last hours before payout. = 99.99% abuse rate.

To know what voting bot to use, refer to https://steembottracker.com/ and use those that have 3.5 day or less in the "Max Age" column.

My post is only a few hours old!

example A: people should protect their PINs so that others cannot GET HOLD OF them

example B: I've lost contacts with her for quite some time but luckily yesterday I manged to GET HOLD OF her again

example C: be careful when you get back our ball climbing over the fence because I wouldn't like the neighbors to GET HOLD OF you

example D: she managed to GET HOLD OF her ex-boyfriend after a few years and now they're seeing each other again

example E: it's always nice to GET HOLD OF the Steem blockchain in case you want to express yourself to others

There is a variant of this phrase: "get a hold of". "Get hold of" and "Get a hold of" are mostly interchangeable, but "get hold of" is more often used when talking about people (e.g., "get hold of Mr. Jones and tell him...") while "get a hold of" is used with things (e.g., "I think I've finally gotten a hold of this concept...").

Thanks a lot. Your explanation was really useful.
