i live in a large home.
[{"role": "system", "content": "A mansion is a large dwelling house. The word itself derives through Old French from the Latin word \"mansio\" \"dwelling\", an abstract noun derived from the verb \"manere\" \"to dwell\". The English word \"manse\" originally defined a property large enough for the parish priest to maintain himself, but a mansion is no longer self-sustaining in this way (compare a Roman or medieval villa). 'Manor' comes from the same root\u2014territorial holdings granted to a lord who would \"remain\" there\u2014hence it is easy to see how the word 'Mansion' came to have its meaning. Within an ancient Roman city, aristocratic or just wealthy dwellings might be very extensive, and luxurious. Such mansions on one hill in Rome became so extensive that the term palatial was actually derived from the name Palatine hill and is the etymological origin of \"palace\". Mansions of considerable size and state significance are called palaces. Following the fall of Rome the practice of building unfortified villas ceased. Today, the oldest inhabited mansions around the world usually began their existence as fortified castles in the Middle Ages. As social conditions slowly changed and stabilised fortifications were able to be reduced, and over the centuries gave way to comfort.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I live in a mansion, which is just another term for a very large house."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Oooh!
