Συχνό λάθος:

Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes use "to the southeast" when "southeast" alone as an adverb would be more natural (e.g., "The road goes southeast," not "The road goes to the southeast" in many contexts). Both can be correct, but the shorter adverb form is common with verbs of movement like "go" and "head."

Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes forget to capitalize "Southeast" when it refers to a well-known region (for example, "the Southeast" of the U.S.) and not just a general direction. Use "the southeast" (lowercase) for a general part of a place, but "the Southeast" (capitalized) for a recognized region.
