content-related
'inhaltlich' and 'semantisch' both have to do with meaning, but they are used differently. 'Inhaltlich' fits generally with texts, conversations, tasks, or discussions and refers to the topic or message. 'Semantisch' is more precise and more linguistic: it is about the meaning of words, parts of sentences, or sentences. Learners may confuse the words because both concern meaning rather than form. In everyday language, people usually say 'inhaltlich'. 'Semantisch' fits better when you are analyzing language or word meanings closely.
