small adhesive label or image
A small piece of paper or plastic with a sticky side that you put on things to show a picture, word, or sign.
Vzorec užití:
[someone] puts a sticker on [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "sticker" with "stamp." A "stamp" is usually used for mail or official documents, while a "sticker" is any adhesive label or picture you stick onto things. Also, some learners say *"stick"* when they mean the noun *"sticker"* (e.g., *"I put a stick on my laptop"*), but *"stick"* is mainly a verb or a piece of wood.
Synonyma
label (Often suggests text with information like price or instructions, not always decorative.)
|
decal (Usually a decorative picture or design, often larger and sometimes more permanent than a simple sticker.)
