Definition
忽略 (hū lüè) means 'to overlook, neglect, or ignore' — it focuses on failing to notice or include something, often unintentionally. It differs from 忽视 (hū shì), which implies failing to give proper attention or importance (often with a sense of disregard), and from 疏忽 (shū hu), which emphasizes carelessness or negligence. 忽略 is broader and can be used for both intentional and unintentional omissions.
