Notas de uso	Usa 'relacionado' cuando hables de temas, ideas o elementos que tienen una conexión. Es adecuado tanto en contextos informales como formales, pero puede ser menos apropiado en conversaciones casuales sobre temas no serios. Use 'related' when discussing topics, ideas, or items that have a connection. It's suitable in both informal and formal contexts, but might be less appropriate in casual conversations about non-serious topics.	Usa 'dijo' para comunicación pasada. Es neutral y encaja en la mayoría de los contextos, pero evítalo para contextos hablados informales donde 'dijo' podría ser más común. Use 'told' for past communication. It's neutral and fits in most contexts, but avoid it for informal spoken contexts where 'said' might be more common.
