Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say *"no important"* instead of *"unimportant" or "not important" (e.g., *"This is no important"* is incorrect; say *"This is unimportant"* or *"This is not important"*). They may also overuse *"unimportant"* in polite conversation where *"not so important"* or *"not very important"* sounds softer and more natural.
