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.
