Chinese learners often confuse 'nominative' (主格) with 'nominee' (被提名的人) due to the similar Chinese translation '被提名者' in some contexts. 'Nominative' as a noun refers to a grammatical case, not a person; use 'nominee' for a person who has been nominated.

Chinese learners may mistake 'nominative' for 'nominal' because both can be translated as '名义上的' in Chinese. However, 'nominative' as a noun (or adjective) relates to naming or the subject case, while 'nominal' means very small or in name only.
