خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse 'nail' with 'finger' and say '*my finger is long*' when they mean 'my nail is long'. 'Finger' is the whole body part; 'nail' is only the hard part at the end.
المعنى
hard part at tip of finger or toe
المتلازمات اللفظية
bite your nails |clip your nails |paint your nails |trim your nails |clean under your nails
المرادفات
fingernail (More specific; refers only to a nail on a finger, not on a toe.)
الأضداد
skin (Refers to the soft tissue around the nail, contrasting with the hard nail itself.)

nail the presentation |nail the exam |really nail it |nail the performance
المرادفات
ace (Very informal and often used about tests or challenges; slightly more slangy than 'nail'.)
