Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use "weighty" for everyday serious things where native speakers would normally say "serious" (e.g., *a weighty test*). "Weighty" is mostly used for topics, decisions, and responsibilities that feel especially important or have big effects. It is also uncommon to use "weighty" to describe a person’s personality; "serious" or "solemn" are more natural there.
