اشتباه رایج:
Learners often use "augment" in very casual speech where "increase" or "grow" would sound more natural. "Augment" is more formal and is common in writing, business, and academic contexts. Another mistake is saying "augment up" or "augment more"; the verb itself already includes the idea of increase, so you should say "augment sales" not "augment up sales".
معنی
to make larger or greater

اشتباه رایج:
Learners may confuse the general sense of "augment" (to increase) with the specific musical sense. In music, "augment" has precise rules about how the note or interval is changed, so it should only be used when talking about musical structure, not about making the volume louder.
معنی
to lengthen in music theory
