🇺🇸 English Expressions: Ballpark ⚾
Hey everyone! 👋
Today’s expression is “ballpark.”
👉 It means an approximate estimate or rough number.
When you give a “ballpark figure,” you’re not being exact — just close enough.
Origin:
This comes from baseball. A ballpark is the stadium where the game is played. The idea is: you’re “in the park” — not exact, but within the right area or range. Over time, it became common in business and everyday speech.
Examples:
• Can you give me a ballpark figure for the cost? 💵
• The repair will cost $300, ballpark. 🔧
• What’s the ballpark timeline for finishing this project? 📅
Figurative daily-life examples:
• I need a ballpark idea of how long this will take. ⏳
• Just give me a ballpark number — it doesn’t have to be exact.
• We’re talking 20–25 people, ballpark. 🎉
