Častá chyba:
Learners often confuse “indigenous” with “local”. “Local” can mean simply living in an area now, but “indigenous” means the original peoples of that place. Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: say “indigenous to Canada”, not “indigenous in Canada”. Also, when talking about specific groups, English often capitalizes it as “Indigenous” (e.g. “Indigenous peoples in Australia”).

Learners sometimes use “indigenous” instead of “wild”. “Indigenous” means native to the area, not just not kept as a pet. Another mistake is confusing “indigenous” with “endemic”: “endemic” means found only in that area, but “indigenous” does not always have this ‘only there’ meaning.
