letters or emails exchanged
Letters or emails that people send to each other, especially over some time.
Schemat użycia:
correspondence between [people] / correspondence with [someone]

Learners sometimes confuse "correspondence" with "correspondent". "Correspondence" is the communication (letters, emails), while a "correspondent" is a person who sends reports, especially for a newspaper or TV channel.
Synonimy
communication (Broader; includes spoken and other forms, not only written messages.)
|
letters (Usually refers to physical written messages, not emails or other electronic forms.)
Antonimy
silence (Suggests a complete lack of communication or messages.)

2
close similarity or match
A close similarity or match between things.
Schemat użycia:
a correspondence between [things]
Częsty błąd:
Learners sometimes use "correspondence" when they only need "similar" or "same" in simple sentences. Reserve "correspondence" for talking about how two sets of things or ideas match each other, often in more formal or academic contexts.
Synonimy
similarity (General word; does not always suggest as precise a match as "correspondence" can.)
|
agreement (Focuses more on things fitting together or not conflicting, rather than on structural similarity.)
Antonimy
mismatch (Emphasizes that two things do not fit or match each other.)

mathematical pairing relation
In mathematics, a rule or relation that matches items in one group with items in another group.
Schemat użycia:
a correspondence between [set A] and [set B]
Częsty błąd:
Learners may confuse this technical sense with general "similarity" or with everyday written "correspondence". In mathematics, it always involves a structured pairing or matching between elements of sets.
Synonimy
mapping (Very close in math; often used more specifically for functions with extra structure.)
|
relation (Broader logical term; may not imply pairing in the same structured way.)
Antonimy
non-injectivity (In mathematics, indicates that a mapping is not one-to-one and so fails a key property of a one-to-one correspondence.)

|
