Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "valor" with "value" because the words look similar; however, "valor" means courage, while "value" usually means worth. Another common mistake is using "valor" in very casual speech where "bravery" or "courage" would sound more natural. Also note that British English usually spells this word "valour."
