reverse geocoding request

Good afternoon! How are the types of address components and administrative divisions in the response to the reverse geocoding request correlated?

Thank you in advance

What geocoder are you asking about?

My question is about reverse geocoding. Method:https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse

Did I understand correctly from the documentation that the distribution of the types of address components according to the levels of administrative division is carried out independently by the user?

OSM does not classify a type to any level?

Type? Level? Did you check the documentation for admin_level values for specific countries?

What is "carried out independently by the user" supposed to mean? Can you provide examples?
