释义
A place to live; having a home or shelter. This expression is often used to talk about basic needs or security.
用法与细微差别
This is an informal, idiomatic expression for having a place to live. Used in both positive and negative sentences—'have a roof over your head' (you are not homeless), 'lose the roof over your head' (lose your home). Often linked with other necessities like 'food on the table'. Does not literally mean a physical roof.
