Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use "morbid" to describe any sad or serious topic. In fact, "morbid" usually implies something unnaturally dark or disturbing, often connected with death, not just ordinary sadness. Another mistake is applying it directly to a person (e.g., *"He is morbid"*) when it is more natural to describe their interests, jokes, or thoughts (e.g., "He has a morbid sense of humor").
