all human beings collectively

All people in the world, seen as one group.

பயன்பாட்டு முறை: humanity [verb]
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners sometimes use 'humanities' instead of 'humanity' for this meaning. 'Humanity' means all human beings as a group, while 'the humanities' (usually plural, with 'the') means academic subjects like literature, history, and philosophy. Also, 'humanity' in this sense is uncountable and does not take a plural form (*'humanities' is wrong here).

எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்

kindness and compassion for others

The quality of being kind and caring, especially to people who are hurt or in need.

பயன்பாட்டு முறை: show humanity (towards/to [someone])
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners sometimes confuse 'humanity' with 'humanitarian'. 'Humanity' is a noun meaning kindness or compassion. 'Humanitarian' is usually an adjective (a humanitarian effort) or a person (a humanitarian) who works to help others. Also, avoid using an article before this uncountable meaning in most cases (say 'with great humanity', not '*with a great humanity').
இணைச்சொற்கள்
compassion (Focuses more specifically on feeling another person's suffering and wanting to help.) | kindness (More everyday and informal; less formal and broad than 'humanity'.) | humaneness (Very close in meaning, but mainly used about avoiding cruelty, especially in treatment or punishment.)
எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்
cruelty (Direct opposite; means a desire to cause pain or not caring about the pain you cause.) | inhumanity (Formal opposite; means extreme lack of kindness or compassion, especially in terrible treatment of others.)

the condition or qualities of being human

The fact and quality of being human, including normal feelings and weaknesses.

பயன்பாட்டு முறை: the humanity of [someone/something]
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners sometimes mix this sense with the 'all people' meaning and write sentences like '*The humanity are suffering.' For this meaning, use 'humanity' as an abstract noun without plural or a verb that agrees with a singular noun: 'Humanity is complex.' This sense is often used with modifiers like 'shared', 'common', or 'loss of'.
இணைச்சொற்கள்
humanity (as human nature) (Paraphrasing synonym; used to highlight humans' shared emotional and moral character.) | human nature (Overlapping but broader; refers to typical ways humans think and act, not only emotional depth and vulnerability.)
எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்
inhumanity (Stresses absence or loss of human feeling and moral sense, as if someone is no longer truly human.) | dehumanization (Refers to the process of taking away someone's sense of being human or treating them as less than human.)
