Μοτίβο χρήσης:
[someone] suffers [deprivation] of [something]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes confuse 'deprivation' with 'poverty'. Poverty usually refers to not having enough money, while deprivation is more general and can refer to lack of sleep, love, food, or other basic needs. Also, learners may say 'a deprivation of sleepness'; the correct phrase is 'sleep deprivation' or 'deprivation of sleep'.
Συνώνυμα
