Learner notes
Memory Tip
想象一张美元钞票上印着“$100”，denomination就是它的“面额名号”；不同教派也各有自己的“名号”。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：宗教团体的划分、货币的面额标注 denomination 在不同语境对应不同含义：指宗教教派时，多用于宗教或社会讨论；指货币面额时，多用于银行、金融或购物场景。整体为中性偏正式用语，口语中较少使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words end in '-ation' and have the stressed ending /-ˈeɪʃən/, so they rhyme with 'denomination'. Do not confuse them with lookalikes such as 'denominate' /dɪˈnɒmɪneɪt/ or 'denominator' /dɪˈnɒmɪneɪtər/, which are pronounced differently.
