Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use "salutation" in very casual situations where native speakers would simply say "hello" or "hi." In everyday speech, "greeting" or an actual greeting word (like "hello") is usually more natural. Also, do not confuse "salutation" (a noun) with "to salute" (a verb meaning to greet or show respect, often in a military way).

Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse the "salutation" with the "closing" of a letter. The salutation is the greeting at the top (e.g. "Dear Maria"), while the closing is the phrase at the end (e.g. "Best regards"). Another common mistake is using very informal salutations like "Hey" in emails where a more formal greeting is expected.
