states
Expresses in words
States are conditions or situations that something or someone exists in: a state of confusion, the current state of affairs, solid and liquid states.
Political states are organized territories under a single government.
In federal systems like the United States, states are semi-autonomous divisions: Which state do you live in?
The verb means to express formally: He stated his objections clearly. (Capitalized States typically refers to the United States.)
