group of three people or things
Three people or things that are seen as one group, often people who work or perform together.
الگوی کاربرد:
a trio of [plural noun]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes say *a trio of three people*, which is usually redundant because 'trio' already means 'three'. It is also common to confuse 'trio' with 'threesome'; however, 'threesome' is often used for sexual situations, so 'trio' is safer in most contexts.
هممعنیها
threesome (Also means a group of three, but can often have a sexual meaning, so it is more risky in general conversation.)
|
triple (Focuses more on the quantity 'three times' rather than on a close-knit group acting together.)
متضادها
duo (Refers to a group of two people acting together, which contrasts with a trio as a group of three.)

A piece of music that is written for three players or three musical parts.
الگوی کاربرد:

three-part piece (Clearly describes music with three parts but is longer and less standard as a set musical term than 'trio'.)
متضادها
duet (A musical composition for two performers, contrasting with a trio for three performers.)
