This frame covers 彼此 vs. 对方. 彼此 and 对方 can both translate as "each other," but they point differently. 彼此 is reciprocal: the action runs both ways, "mutually, one another." Like 互相, it can sit directly before a verb. 对方 names the one counterpart facing you and behaves as a noun. The handout gives the full form, meaning, boundary and examples.
This frame covers 人家 vs. 别人. 别人 is neutral for "other people" or "someone else," with no particular person and no extra feeling. 人家 is colloquial. The two can overlap in a plain generalisation. More often 人家 points to someone already identifiable and carries complaint, warmth, or impatience. It can also be a coy "I." 别人 never means "I." The handout gives the full form, meaning, boundary and examples.
