collocation
a particular combination of words that are used together very often
Collocation refers to the habitual combination of words that frequently occur together in a language. These combinations may involve two or more words that are often used in close proximity to convey specific meanings or to sound more natural to native speakers. For example, in English, one might say "make a decision" rather than "do a decision", or "strong coffee" instead of "powerful coffee". Understanding collocations is important for language learners and speakers, as it helps them use words in ways that sound more fluent and idiomatic. Collocations can vary between languages and can change over time, reflecting the dynamic nature of language use.
