Častá chyba:
Some learners think 'brotherhood' is only about male family members. In modern English it is often used for a strong friendly feeling and support inside any group, not only between biological brothers. Learners also sometimes say *'a brotherhood feeling'* instead of the more natural 'a feeling of brotherhood' or 'a sense of brotherhood'.
