A dacha is a country house in Russia, often outside a big city, where a family goes for weekends and summer. dictionaries often say “large,” and some dachas really are big and rather grand — a minister’s wooden house among the trees. Though actually, many dachas are small and simple, with a garden for tomatoes and potatoes. English keeps the Russian word because cottage or holiday home is close but not the same social idea. The word was borrowed from Russian. Long ago it meant a gift of land: a prince gave someone a piece of ground. Today it just means that country place.
達恰(俄國鄉間小屋或別墅;週末、夏天去住的那種)
組成Borrowed from Russian дача (dáča), originally “gift, portion, land granted by a prince,” from дать (datʹ, “to give”).

dachanoun/ˈdæt͡ʃ.ə/

A Russian villa or summer house in the countryside.
- The belt is full of dachi, i.e., summer villas, all now closed. […] Most of the dachi are small; but some large, sumptuous, and more securely fenced, a few with iron palisades to insure privacy. […] There are no roads in the environs of Odessa, except among the dachi by the shore.
- This was a great rambling wooden house, fashioned, like most of the Muscovish dachi, or country houses, in the form of a square main building in the centre, flanked by a wing on each side which came forward in a semicircle, like a man’s outstretched arms, as though to embrace the approaching visitors.
