Straight from the mouth of the horse:

A menu item represents a list of commands.

eg:.

<menu label="File"> <button type="button" onclick="fnew()">New...</button> <button type="button" onclick="fopen()">Open...</button> <button type="button" onclick="fsave()">Save</button> <button type="button" onclick="fsaveas()">Save as...</button> </menu>

The nav element is a section of a page that links to other pages or parts of a page: a section with navigation links.

Answer 2

<nav> is the general section of the site layout containing navigation content

<menu> is a list of commands within navigation or any other section layout
