a set of three related works
Three books, films, or other stories that are linked together and seen as one big series.
Schema d'uso:
a trilogy of [books/films/novels/etc.]
Errore comune:
Learners sometimes use "trilogy" to refer to a single book or film (e.g., *"I liked this trilogy"* when they mean one movie). Use "trilogy" only for the whole group of three works, and say "the first/second/third part of the trilogy" for each piece. It is also sometimes confused with "trio", which usually refers to three people or things, not three linked stories.
Sinonimi
three-part series (More descriptive and informal; clearly states there are three parts but sounds less like a fixed, recognized unit than "trilogy".)
|
trilogy of works (Longer phrase that spells out the idea explicitly; slightly more formal or explanatory than just "trilogy".)
Contrari
standalone (A single work that is not part of a series, contrasting with three linked works in a trilogy.)
