a collaborator [with someone] [on something]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes use "collaborator" when they only mean someone in the same company, where "colleague" or "co-worker" is more natural. "Collaborator" usually suggests someone who works actively with you on a specific project. Another mistake is omitting the prepositions: say "a collaborator with me on the project" or "a collaborator on the project", not just "a collaborator the project".

A person who helps an enemy group, especially when that enemy has taken control of their country.
Vartosenos šablonas:
a collaborator [with the enemy]
Dažna klaida:
Learners may not realize this meaning is strongly negative and connected with war or occupation. In everyday work situations, you should not call a co-worker a "collaborator" if there is any chance of confusion with this sense, especially in historical or political contexts. Also, this sense normally takes an object like "with the enemy" or a specific group, not just "collaborator" alone.
Sinonimai
traitor (General word for someone who betrays their country, group, or friend; does not specifically imply cooperation with an occupying power.)
|
quisling (Formal and historical; refers specifically to someone who helps an enemy occupying their country.)
Antonimai
patriot (Someone who is loyal to their country and defends it instead of helping its enemies.)
|
resister (Someone who actively fights against an occupying power, the opposite of cooperating with it.)
