movement of blood in the body
The way blood moves again and again around the body.
Használati minta:
[someone] has [good/poor] circulation
Gyakori hiba:
Learners sometimes confuse “circulation” with “blood pressure.” Circulation is about how well blood moves around the body, while blood pressure is how strong the blood pushes on the walls of the blood vessels.
Szinonimák
blood flow (A more everyday term that focuses on the movement of blood, without the medical feel of “circulation.”)
Antonimák
stagnation (Describes blood not moving properly, the opposite of healthy circulation.)

movement of air or liquid
The way air, water, or another liquid or gas moves around in a place again and again.
Használati minta:
circulation of [air/liquid] in [a place]
Gyakori hiba:
Learners sometimes use only “ventilation” when they mean both fresh air entering and air moving around. “Ventilation” is about bringing in fresh air, while “circulation” is about air moving within the space.
Szinonimák
flow (A more general word for movement of a liquid or gas; “circulation” suggests a repeated or system-wide movement.)
Antonimák
stagnation (Refers to air or liquid that is not moving, the opposite of healthy circulation.)

spread of information or items
The way information, papers, or things go from one person to another in a group.
Használati minta:
the circulation of [information/document/rumor]
Gyakori hiba:
Learners sometimes say “the information is circulating” when they want to emphasize its general presence in a group. This is correct, but “in circulation” or “in wide circulation” is often more natural when talking about how common it is.
Szinonimák
distribution (Focuses more on the act of giving or sending out, while “circulation” emphasizes ongoing movement within a group.)
Antonimák
suppression (If circulation is allowing information to spread, suppression is actively stopping it from spreading.)

The money that people are using and spending in a country at a given time.
Használati minta:

Szinonimák
money supply (An economic term that refers more broadly to all money in the economy, while “circulation” often focuses on physical cash or its active use.)
