strong unfriendliness or antagonism

A strong feeling or show of dislike and anger toward a person, group, or idea.

الگوی کاربرد: hostility toward [someone/something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "hostility" with "hospitality" because they look similar. "Hostility" means unfriendliness or anger, while "hospitality" means warm and friendly welcome. Also, learners may try to use it as an adjective (e.g., *a hostility person*); the correct adjective is "hostile" (e.g., *a hostile person*).

fighting or warlike actions

Military fighting or war between groups or countries, usually said as "hostilities" in the plural.

الگوی کاربرد: hostilities between [groups/countries]
اشتباه رایج:

هم‌معنی‌ها
combat (More specific to the actual physical fighting between armed forces.) | conflict (Broader and can include political or social struggle as well as physical fighting.)
متضادها
peace (General state with no war or fighting between groups or countries.) | truce (A formal agreement to stop fighting, often temporary, that brings hostilities to a halt.)
