What is the difference between relation and relationship?
I am always confused by these two words. I think they are very similar. But what is difference between them? Thank you

Question

Answer

There is very little difference between the two words.

If you are describing how objects and concepts are connected to each other, the words can both be used in the same way. "Relationship" is the more commonly used word for descriptions.

In terms of family, "relation" refers to a person who is related to you e.g. "I have a lot of relations." "Relationship" describes the connection between two people, e.g. "We have a strong relationship".

Answer

when there becomes a SHIP in relation then it becomes Relationship :p
