restore friendly relations after conflict

To help people become friends again after they argued or were apart.

الگوی کاربرد: to reconcile [someone] with [someone]; to reconcile [two people/group]
اشتباه رایج:

To make different ideas, facts, or rules work together without conflict.

الگوی کاربرد: to reconcile [something] with [something]; to reconcile [two things]
اشتباه رایج:

الگوی کاربرد: to reconcile [accounts/records]; to reconcile [a bank statement] with [a ledger]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may not realize this is a specialized accounting meaning and may confuse it with the more general sense of making ideas agree. In business contexts with words like 'accounts', 'transactions', or 'bank statement', 'reconcile' almost always refers to checking and matching records.
هم‌معنی‌ها
balance (Common in everyday banking; often means to compare a checkbook or account with bank records to ensure they match.) | audit (More formal and broader; means to examine financial records in detail, not only to match two sets of numbers.)

To accept a bad or sad situation because you cannot change it.

الگوی کاربرد: to reconcile yourself to [something]; to be reconciled to [something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes try to use this meaning without the reflexive pronoun, saying *'reconcile to something'* instead of 'reconcile yourself to something' or 'be reconciled to something.' The reflexive or passive form is normally required for this sense.
هم‌معنی‌ها
accept (More general and common; does not always carry the same sense of emotional struggle before acceptance.) | come to terms with (Very close in meaning; emphasizes the emotional process of learning to live with something difficult.)
متضادها
resist (Means to fight against something or refuse to accept it, the opposite of mentally accepting it as unchangeable.) | reject (Means to refuse to accept or believe something, instead of becoming internally at peace with it.)
