Hey I live in a large home. Some people call it a Mansion. Do you know anyone who has one?
My parents live in what some people may call a mansion.  It has about 6,000 SF and is on 5 acres.
Wow cool! The word comes from the old latin work "mansio".
Interesting!  I didn't know that.  What does "masio" translate to?
It loosely means "to dwell". The word "manse" defines a property as well.
Oh!  Traditionally, how large does a dwelling need to be to be considered a mansion?
I am not sure to be honest! But once they get to a considerable size they are actually called palaces!
Figures.  Must be nice to live in a palace.  I guess the White House would be considered a Palace, right?  Or is it a Palace?
I'm not sure about that either! I think it would be a mansion still. The oldest mansions around were often originally castles in the middle ages!
