Typisk fejl:
Learners often confuse "manor" with "manner" because they sound the same. "Manor" is a type of house or estate, while "manner" means a way of doing something or a person's behaviour. Learners may also use "manor" for any large modern city house, where "mansion" or simply "large house" is more natural.

Typisk fejl:
Learners often confuse this informal sense with the basic meaning of a large house. In expressions like "on his own manor", it almost never refers to a building; it means someone's local area or territory. It is also easy to confuse "manor" with the more common word "manner", which is unrelated in meaning.
Betydning
