What is the difference between imperial and empire?

Abjective





Noun

What is the difference between imperial and empire?
"Imperial" is an adjective. "Empire" is a noun.





Unless of course you're talking about an "empire dress," in which case "empire" is an adjective.
Reply:An empire (from the Latin "imperium", denoting military command within the ancient Roman government) is a state that extends dominion over populations distinct culturally and ethnically from the culture/ethnicity at the center of power. Scholars still debate about what exactly constitutes an empire, and other definitions may emphasize economic or political factors.





Imperial is a term that is used to describe something that relates to an empire, emperor, or the concept of imperialism.


It can also refer to places, organizations, standards and types, things, animals and plants
