not connected or relevant
Not having any real link or connection to something else.
Tipar de utilizare:
[something] is unrelated to [something].
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners often use the wrong preposition and say *unrelated with* or *unrelated of*. The common pattern is *unrelated to*: e.g., "His question is unrelated to the topic." Another mistake is using *unrelative*, which is not a standard word; the correct form is *unrelated*.
