Hi

Good question. Often 'relation' refers to things; and 'relationship' refers to people:

- We are looking at the relation between the chemical and the disease

- My sister and I have a good relationship

But, confusingly, 'relation' also refers, generally, to family relationships:

- My Dad's brother is my relation - he is my uncle. But we don't have a close relati
