Causing harm or damage
Causing harm, damage, or a bad result.
Vzorec užití:
[something] is detrimental to [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say *"detrimental for"* instead of the more natural pattern *"detrimental to"* (e.g., say "detrimental to health," not "detrimental for health"). They may also overuse it in very casual speech, where "bad for" or "harmful to" would sound more natural.

|
