smaller part of an existing division
A smaller part of something that is already in parts, like a small part of a company, area, or group.
用法パターン：
[a subdivision] of [something]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use "subdivision" when they only mean a simple part or section. Use "subdivision" when you talk about a part that comes after an earlier division (a part of a part), especially in formal or technical contexts. Also, do not confuse this meaning with the housing meaning, where "subdivision" refers to a neighborhood of houses.
類義語
section (Often used for any part of something; less formal and less specific about being a part of a part than "subdivision".)
対義語
whole (Refers to the complete thing, not broken into divisions or subdivisions.)

planned housing development area
A planned area of land outside or on the edge of a town, where the land is cut into many small pieces and many similar houses are built.
用法パターン：
to live in a [subdivision]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes think "subdivision" always means any small part of something. In North American English, it often specifically means a planned neighborhood of houses. In this sense, you usually say you "live in a subdivision" rather than you are "a subdivision" or you "make a subdivision".
類義語
housing development (Very close in meaning; more common in some regions of English and slightly clearer for learners than "subdivision".)
対義語
open countryside (Refers to natural or farm land without dense planned housing developments.)

process of dividing further
The action of cutting or splitting something that is already in parts into even smaller parts or groups.
用法パターン：
the subdivision of [something] into [parts]
よくある間違い：
Learners often confuse the process meaning with the result meaning. When you talk about the action, use patterns like "the subdivision of X into Y". When you talk about the smaller parts themselves, use patterns like "a subdivision of X".
類義語
partition (Focuses on the act of separating into parts; does not always carry the idea that something was already divided before, which "subdivision" suggests.)
対義語
