Main Difference
The main difference between Evergreen and Person is that the Evergreen is a plant that has leaves in all four seasons and Person is a being that has certain capacities or attributes constituting personhood (avoid use with P31; use Q5 for humans)
-
Evergreen
In botany, an evergreen is a plant that has leaves throughout the year and are always green. This is true even if the plant retains its foliage only in warm climates, and contrasts with deciduous plants, which completely lose their foliage during the winter or dry season.
-
Person
A person is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and consequently what makes a person count as a person differ widely among cultures and contexts.
In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes.
The common plural of “person”, “people”, is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in “a people”). The plural “persons” is often used in philosophical and legal writing.
