Hi, currently the news is talking about the handover of Iraq. What is the difference between a handover and a takeover?

Hi Adreana,

The term takeover is used when a company buys another company or a political party takes control of a country.
A handover is the act of giving away control or giving up authority. It is also used during a broadcast to indicate that another anchor or newsreader should continue.

Hi Torsten and everyone,

I've heard that someone says handover also means someone gets drunk after drinking a lot of alcohols. It's a kind of an oral language. Am I right? I just want to make sure if I usnderstand it right.

Thanks a lot.

Magggie^^
