Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes use "clan" when they just mean "parents and children". "Clan" usually suggests a larger, extended family network (many relatives and branches), not only a small nuclear family. Also, in some contexts "tribe" or "ethnic group" may be more appropriate than "clan", especially in formal or academic writing.

Learners may think "clan" is only for real family groups. In modern informal English, especially online and in youth culture, it can also mean a close group of friends or people with a shared hobby (for example, a gaming clan). However, in formal writing it is better to use "group" or "community" instead of this sense of "clan".
