Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use *incomprehensible* where *unbelievable* or *amazing* would be more natural. *Incomprehensible* focuses on something being impossible or extremely hard to understand, not on it being surprising or impressive. Another common mistake is saying *incomprehensible for me* instead of the more natural *incomprehensible to me*.
