person who moves to another place
A person who goes to live or work in another place, often another country, to have a better life or job.
用法パターン：
a migrant from [a place]
よくある間違い：
Learners often confuse 'migrant', 'immigrant', and 'refugee'. 'Migrant' is a broad word for people who move, often for work or a better life. 'Immigrant' is someone who comes to live in a new country permanently. 'Refugee' is someone forced to leave their country because of war, danger, or persecution. Another mistake is treating 'migrant' as uncountable; it is countable, so say 'many migrants', not 'much migrant'.
類義語

expatriate (Often used for people living abroad for work, usually with a more privileged or professional image than 'migrant'.)
対義語
local (Refers to someone who already lives in and is from that place, not someone who has moved there.)

native (Emphasizes being born in a place, in contrast to someone who has arrived from somewhere else.)

seasonal or temporary worker who moves
A worker who travels from place to place to do short-time or seasonal jobs, often in farms or low-paid work.
用法パターン：
a migrant working in [a place/industry]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes think 'migrant' in this sense always means crossing national borders. It can also refer to people who move inside one country for seasonal work. Another mistake is saying 'migrant job' when they mean 'migrant worker'; the person is the migrant, not the job.
類義語
seasonal worker (Stresses that the work is tied to a particular season; does not always suggest long-distance travel.)
|
itinerant worker (More formal and less common; emphasizes moving around for work but is not limited to modern migration debates.)
対義語
local worker (A worker who lives and works in the same area without moving around for jobs.)
|
permanent employee (Emphasizes long-term employment in one place, the opposite of temporary, moving work.)

animal that migrates seasonally
An animal that travels long distances at certain times each year to find food, breed, or avoid bad weather.
用法パターン：
a migrant that travels to [a place/time]
よくある間違い：
Learners may think 'migrant' only refers to people. In biology, it can also name animals that migrate. Another mistake is confusing 'migrant' (noun) with 'migratory' (adjective) in scientific writing.
類義語
migratory bird (Usually used for birds only and more often as an adjective-noun phrase; 'migrant' as a noun can apply to any migrating animal.)
|
migratory animal (More explicitly biological and often used in academic or scientific writing.)
対義語
resident (In ecology, a species or population that stays in one area all year instead of migrating.)
|

moving between places or countries
Moving from one place to another, or connected with people or animals that move regularly, for example for work or because of the seasons.
用法パターン：
migrant [group/worker/community/bird/species]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes put 'migrant' after the noun (e.g. *'workers migrant'*) instead of before it ('migrant workers'). They may also mix up 'migrant' (adjective) and 'migratory'; 'migrant' is more common in news and everyday speech, while 'migratory' sounds more technical.
類義語
migratory (More formal and often used in scientific or technical contexts, especially for animals and birds.)
|
mobile (More general; means able or likely to move, not specifically about crossing borders or seasonal movement.)
対義語
settled (Describes people or groups who stay in one place rather than moving around.)
|
resident (Emphasizes staying in the same place, often used as the opposite of 'migrant' in demographic or ecological contexts.)
