Typisk fejl:
Learners often confuse "inexhaustible" with "exhaustive" and "exhausting". "Inexhaustible" means something cannot be used up or does not run out. "Exhaustive" means complete or covering everything. "Exhausting" means making you very tired. Also, it is usually used for large or long-lasting things like resources, supplies, or sources, not for small items (say "endless cups of tea" rather than an "inexhaustible cup of tea").

Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes think "inexhaustible" here means "very tired" because of the word "exhausted". It actually means the opposite: not getting tired. Also, do not say "I feel inexhaustible" in everyday speech; it is more natural to say "I have endless energy" or "I never get tired". Use "inexhaustible" mainly before nouns like "energy", "enthusiasm", "curiosity", or "patience".
