Isn’t it strange that the English language doesn’t have a word to define if an object is brand new or newly yours? For example, “I got a new car!” could mean that you bough a shiny, never driven, straight-from-the-factory car from a dealership, or it could mean that you bought your neighbor’s 16 year old station wagon.
