sense of fellowship

fellowship among + plural noun

用法筆記

This sense is uncountable and often appears in phrases such as 'sense of fellowship' or 'spirit of fellowship.' Unlike sense 1, it refers to a feeling, not to an organization.

常見錯誤

❌I have a fellowship with my classmates.
✅I feel a sense of fellowship with my classmates.
💡'fellowship' is uncountable in this meaning, so 'a fellowship' sounds like an organization (sense 1) or a grant (sense 4).
