"Conventional" is not the same as "traditional," although they are sometimes used interchangeably.
"Traditional" refers to something rooted in long-established customs, beliefs, or practices that are passed down through generations. It's often tied to culture, history, or heritage. For example, traditional clothing, traditional food, or traditional family roles.
"Conventional" refers to what is commonly accepted, standard, or typical at a given time—not necessarily old or cultural, just what's generally done. It can change faster than traditions. For example, using email instead of letters is now conventional in business, but not traditional.
In short:
Traditional = inherited from the past
Conventional = widely accepted right now
They can overlap, but they don’t mean the same thing.
