relevant
/ˈɹɛləvənt/
The word "relevant" is most commonly used with the preposition "to." For example, you would say something is "relevant to the topic," not "relevant of the topic." It is often paired with intensifiers like "highly," "directly," or "completely" to show how strong the connection is between two things. In modern conversation, calling a person or an idea "relevant" can also mean they are currently popular, influential, or still important in today's society.
