relation
1
in or affecting a nearby area
In the area near you, not in a far or large area like the whole country or world.
Vzorec užití:
[something] happens locally / to buy [something] locally
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use "local" instead of "locally" in this adverb position, for example saying *"I want to buy local"* when they mean *"I want to buy locally"*. "Local" is usually an adjective before a noun ("local shop"), while "locally" is an adverb that modifies a verb ("shop locally").
Synonyma
in the area (Very close in meaning; a slightly longer, more informal phrase.)
|
nearby (Focuses more on physical distance; does not usually carry the idea of a whole community or region.)
|
in this town (More specific; refers to a town rather than any kind of local region.)
Antonyma
globally (Refers to the whole world, which contrasts with focusing only on a limited nearby area.)

on this device, not remote
On this computer or device, not on another computer or on the internet.
Vzorec užití:
[data/file] is stored locally / [program] runs locally
Častá chyba:
Learners may confuse "locally" with "offline". Something that runs "locally" is on your device, but it might still use the internet. "Offline" means without any internet connection.
Synonyma
on this device (Plain description often used in explanations; slightly longer and less technical-sounding.)
|
on-site (Often used in IT and business contexts; can refer to physical location, not only a single device.)
Antonyma
remotely (Means on another computer or server, usually accessed over a network, which is the opposite of being on the current device.)
Kolokace
stored locally
|run locally
|save files locally
|locally installed software
|process data locally

in a small neighborhood (math)
In mathematics, true only in a small area around each point, not everywhere.
Vzorec užití:
[function/space] is locally [adjective]
Častá chyba:
Students sometimes think "locally" means the same as "approximately". In mathematics, "locally" means in a neighborhood of each point, not just that something is roughly true.
Synonyma
in a neighborhood (Mathematical phrase that overlaps in meaning; focuses more specifically on the topological neighborhood around a point.)
Antonyma
globally (In mathematics, describes a property that holds on the entire space, not just in small neighborhoods.)
