Confusing 'relative' with 'relation'; 'relation' is broader and can refer to non-family connections., Using 'relatives' incorrectly as 'relativities', which is not a proper term.
用法说明	在谈论家庭关系或关联时使用'关系'。在口语和书面语中都适用，但在非常随意的对话中，使用'联系'等更简单的词可能更自然。Use 'relation' when talking about family connections or associations. It's generally appropriate in both spoken and written contexts. Avoid using it in very casual conversations where simpler terms like 'connection' might feel more natural.	使用'亲戚'来一般性地指代家庭成员。在正式场合，适合讨论家庭关系；在非正式场合，通常用得比较随意。避免用它来指代非家庭关系。Use 'relative' to refer to family members in a general sense. In formal contexts, it's suitable to discuss familial connections; in informal settings, it's often used casually. Avoid using it for non-familial connections.
