person who works in a mine
A person who works underground in a mine to take coal, metal, or other rock out of the earth.
Vzorec užití:
[someone] works as a miner
Častá chyba:
Learners often confuse "miner" with "minor". "Miner" is a job (a person who works in a mine), while "minor" usually means a person under 18 years old or something of little importance. The two words sound the same but have different spellings and meanings.

mineworker (More technical; used especially in industrial or safety contexts.)
|
laborer (More general; refers to a manual worker and does not specifically mean working in a mine.)

Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes think a cryptocurrency "miner" is only a person, but it can also refer to the computer or group of computers doing the work. They also sometimes confuse this with a traditional miner who works underground, because both use the word "mine." The word still sounds the same as "minor," but the meanings are very different.
