not together; each on its own
not together with other people or things; each one on its own
Tipar de utilizare:
[someone] does [something] separately
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes say *"We live separate"* instead of *"We live separately"* (an adverb is needed). They also confuse *separately* with *alone*: *separately* means "not together with others" and can still involve other people (e.g., two people working separately), while *alone* means "with no other person present."

Antonime
together (Direct opposite, meaning in one group, at the same time, or in the same place.)

property

not included; as an extra item
not part of the main thing; you must get it or pay for it on its own
Tipar de utilizare:
[item] is sold separately
Greșeală frecventă:

Sinonime
individually (Often used in price or sales contexts in place of *separately*, but can sound slightly more formal.)
|
not included (A phrase rather than a single word; explicit about absence, common on packaging and bills.)
Antonime
included (Direct opposite in pricing and packaging: it is part of the main item or cost.)
|
all-inclusive (Opposite in contexts like travel or services, where everything is covered in one price.)
