Common mistakes
Not natural: They filialised him as their son into the family.
Better: They filialised him as their son.
The phrase already identifies the family relationship; adding “into the family” is redundant.
“उनके बेटे के रूप में” कहने से रिश्ता स्पष्ट है; “परिवार में” जोड़ना अनावश्यक दोहराव है।
Not natural: They filialised to the orphan.
Better: They filialised the orphan.
Filialise takes the person as a direct object; it is not followed by “to.”
Filialise के बाद व्यक्ति सीधे object के रूप में आता है; इसके साथ “to” नहीं लगाते।

Learner tip
Filialise is a very rare, formal verb. In everyday English, say “treat as one's own child” or “adopt” when that is accurate.
Filialise बहुत कम इस्तेमाल होने वाला औपचारिक verb है। आम बातचीत में सही संदर्भ के अनुसार “अपनी संतान की तरह मानना” या “गोद लेना” कहें।
