in a friendly, social way
In a way where you meet, talk, and spend time with other people for fun, not for work.
Vzorec užití:
to [verb] socially; socially [adjective]; meet [someone] socially
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "socially" with "social" and say *"He is socially person"* instead of "He is a social person" or "He is socially active." Another mistake is confusing "socially" with "specially" (e.g., *"I made this socially for you"* instead of "I made this specially for you").

In a way that is about the whole society, and how people live and are treated in a country or community.
Vzorec užití:
socially and [adverb]; socially [adjective]; [something] is socially [adjective]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use "social" instead of "socially" before adjectives, saying *"social acceptable"* instead of "socially acceptable." Another confusion is using "publicly" when the meaning is about society in general, not just in front of people.
Synonyma

in social-status terms (More explicit and formal; clarifies that the focus is specifically on rank or class.)
Antonyma
