Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes confuse the adjective "manual" with the adverb "manually" and say *"I did it manual"* instead of *"I did it manually"*. Another common mistake is putting it in the wrong position, for example *"I manually it did"*; it usually comes after the verb or at the end: *"I did it manually"*.

Μοτίβο χρήσης:
to update [something] manually in [a system]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes think "manually" in technical texts means "by reading the manual" rather than "not automatically". Another issue is overusing "by hand" in formal documentation, where "manually" is more standard and precise.
Συνώνυμα
