The main office that does the daily work and organization for a group, such as a party, union, or international body.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
the secretariat of [an organization]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners often confuse “secretariat” with “secretary.” A “secretary” is a person, while a “secretariat” is an office or department. Also, learners sometimes use it for small companies where “office” or “administration” would be more natural in everyday English.

Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes treat “secretariat” as a single person, saying things like “the secretariat is a good leader.” In this sense, it refers to a group of staff, not to one individual. For a single person, “secretary” or the person’s title (e.g., “general secretary”) is used instead.
