Častá chyba:
Learners often confuse "weave" with "knit" or "sew". "Weave" means to cross threads or strips over and under each other to make a piece of material, while "knit" uses yarn with needles, and "sew" means to join pieces of fabric with a needle and thread. Another common mistake is verb forms: the past tense is "wove" and the past participle is "woven", not *weaved* in this sense.

Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "weave" with "wave" because they sound similar. "Weave" is about movement through space, often in a zigzag line, while "wave" usually means moving your hand or something back and forth. Some learners also say *drive zigzag* instead of "weave through traffic".
Význam

Častá chyba:
Learners may try to say *build a story* or *mix a story* in contexts where native speakers prefer "weave a story" or "weave something into a story". Also, they sometimes forget the object and say *He weaves well* when they mean "He weaves stories well" or "He weaves ideas together well."

Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "weave" with "wig". A wig is a full head of hair you can take off, while a weave is hair that is attached to your own hair, often by sewing or braiding. Some also incorrectly use a plural *hairs* and say *many weaves* when talking about individual strands, instead of using the uncountable noun "hair".

Synonyma
hair extensions (More general; can refer to clip-in or other methods, not only styles called a "weave".)

Častá chyba:
Learners may use "pattern" when they really mean the structure of the threads, for example saying *a strong pattern* instead of "a tight weave". "Pattern" usually refers to printed designs like stripes or flowers, not to how the threads cross.
Význam
structure or pattern of fabric
Kolokace
tight weave
|loose weave
|plain weave
|twill weave

Synonyma

Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use the regular past tense *weaved* ("She *weaved* my hair") for this salon meaning because it feels separate from the cloth sense. Many speakers still use the irregular forms "wove" and "woven" here, although "weaved" is also heard informally.
Význam

Kolokace
weave hair
|weave in extensions
|weave extensions into
|have your hair woven
Synonyma
attach extensions (Directly names the action; more explanatory and less tied to salon jargon.)
