'Notification' sounds too formal for casual social plans; use 'heads-up' or 'notice' instead.

用法筆記

In technology contexts, 'notifications' (plural) is far more common than the singular form. Typical verb partners are 'turn on/off,' 'dismiss,' 'check,' 'get,' and 'receive.' A single alert is 'a notification,' but users refer to the feature as 'notifications' (e.g., 'I turned off all notifications').

常見錯誤

I received a notification from my mother.
I received a message from my mother.
Notifications are system-generated alerts, not direct personal messages. Use 'message,' 'text,' or 'call' for person-to-person communication.
The notification rang.
The notification sounded / the notification went off.
'Ring' is for phone calls and alarms; notifications 'appear,' 'pop up,' or 'sound.'
