The phrase "in region of" is an expression primarily used to denote an approximate or estimated amount, quantity, or value. It suggests that the speaker or writer does not possess precise or exact information but can provide an approximation within a specific range or boundary. This phrase is often employed when discussing figures, measurements, or values that may vary or have some level of uncertainty.
For instance, if someone says, "The cost of the new building is in the region of $1 million," it means that the actual cost is not known exactly but can be roughly estimated to be around $1 million. Similarly, if someone mentions, "The temperature in this area is in the region of 30 degrees Celsius," it indicates that the exact temperature may fluctuate to some extent, but it can be generally regarded as approximately 30 degrees Celsius.
The term "in region of" suggests that the actual value may be slightly higher or lower, but it serves as a useful indicator to provide listeners or readers with a ballpark figure or approximation. It conveys the idea that the speaker has an understanding of the magnitude or scale of the measurement or value, even though they lack precise knowledge.
