Häufiger Fehler:
Learners sometimes confuse 'tolerably' with 'tolerantly'. 'Tolerably' means 'fairly' or 'reasonably', while 'tolerantly' means 'in a tolerant or accepting way' toward people or ideas. Learners may also overuse 'tolerably' in casual speech, where 'fairly' or 'pretty' would sound more natural.

Häufiger Fehler:
Learners may think this use means 'with tolerance' toward people. Here, 'tolerably' is about how easy or hard a situation is to endure, not about attitudes toward others. In modern English, speakers more often say 'bearable' or 'not too bad' instead of 'tolerably'.
