There are some cities where trams function like metros (have dedicated tunnels for part of the route), but usually the two are separate systems, with different types of rolling stock.
Metros usually go faster than trams, because they don’t interact with other traffic, and have less frequent stops.
interesting. i think in our city, trams and metro are not clearly separated. parts of the trams’ tracks run on their own lane, while other parts mix with the other traffic.
Metros are also called subways or undergrounds.

TIL thanks! We have the same difference in German. I just matched metro to the wrong one.
